LANSING, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) — The State Transportation Commission (STC) unanimously approved a resolution Nov. 5 supporting federal legislation that would recognize state, local and tribal government snowplows as emergency vehicles and exempt them from federal diesel emission regulations. The resolution supports the Protecting Lifesaving Operations during Winter Storms Act, or PLOWS Act, which U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman (MI-01) introduced in May as H.R. 8782 . The bill would exempt snowplows used by state and local government agencies from federal diesel emission regulations. The legislation recognizes the public safety mission of these vehicles, and the bill's sponsors argue that snowplows deserve the same status as other emergency vehicles. The County Road Association of Michigan (CRA) raised the issue first. The association noted how emission control devices on newer snowplows affect plow performance during storms. "If an emergency vehicle is trying to get to somebody in a blizzard but cannot because the snowplow is not operating, that's a problem," said STC Commissioner John Peracchio. "It elevates the status of the snowplow as an emergency vehicle in terms of the exemption." Winter is approaching quickly. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and local road agencies are completing final inspections of winter maintenance fleets.
