Greg Smith, C.A., Special Deputy Sheriff for Government Affairs testified in support of the bill on behalf of the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. Officer Smith explained that today’s motor vehicle lighting kits usually involve some form of LED lighting rather than the neon tube lighting that is described in existing legislation and asked that the reference to neon tubes be removed as well as the definition of Neon Ground Effect Lighting to ensure that any lights placed on a vehicle as ground effect lighting follow the current statute guidelines.
