House Bill 4255 is heading to the Illinois Senate after passing unanimously out of the House. It would allow tow trucks to utilize white, green, or white and green oscillating, rotating, or flashing lights in combination with amber oscillating, rotating, or flashing lights.
The theory is the different colored lights would make those vehicles easier to see, especially during the daylight hours. Sponsored by Republican State Representative Amy Elik of Alton, she says this legislation honors a driver killed last year on Interstate 255.

Sixteen other states, including neighboring Missouri, allow colors other than amber on tow trucks.
