House Bill 473 amends the Government Code and Local Government Code to require that a marked law enforcement motor vehicle, before the sale of the vehicle to the public, be divested of any equipment or insignia that could mislead a reasonable person to believe that the vehicle is a law enforcement vehicle. Before the sale of a marked law enforcement motor vehicle to a security services contractor regulated by the Department of Public Safety and licensed under the Private Security Act, each emblem or insignia that identifies the motor vehicle as a law enforcement vehicle must be removed.
