As we scroll through our FACEBOOK newsfeeds, we see post after post of legislators smiling for cameras—
celebrating victories, shaking hands, announcing bills passed.
Big money. Big grants. Big budgets. Big headlines.

But one bill stays quiet.
One bill gets ignored.
One bill that costs nothing.

House Bill 282 — Troy’s Law.

🚫No funding.
🚫No grants.
🚫No taxpayer dollars.

All it asks for is permission—the ability for tow operators to use a couple of rear-facing blue lights while working crashes and breakdowns on busy highways.

That’s it.

One small layer of protection.
One chance to be seen.
One chance to make it home.

And let this be said clearly—there ARE legislators who care.

We have a strong group of representatives who have stepped up, cosponsored this bill, and worked hard behind the scenes to help get it passed. They listened. They asked questions. They stood with the towing industry when it would’ve been easier to stay quiet.

They deserve recognition and respect.

But effort alone isn’t enough if the bill never reaches the finish line.

The law enforcement officers who actually work beside us on these scenes know the danger.
They live it with us.
They are not the ones opposing this.

They stand inches from traffic just like we do.
They know how fast it can all go wrong.

This bill isn’t a magic fix.
It won’t make us invincible.

It’s simply one more layer of protection in an industry where every call could be the last.

Those claiming “law enforcement is against it” aren’t the ones standing on the shoulder at 2 a.m. in the rain and snow.
They’re not dodging traffic.
They’re not loading vehicles with semis blowing by at highway speed.
They’re not watching headlights drift too close and wondering if this is the moment they don’t go home.

The towing industry has always lived in the gray area—
misunderstood, under-respected, and too often forgotten.

But we’ve proven our place time and time again.

Day or night.
Rain, snow, ice, heat.
When the call comes, we roll.

We help stranded motorists.
We clear wrecks.
We keep traffic moving.
We help first responders do their jobs.

And many times—we do it alone.

Law enforcement is understaffed.
They can’t stay on every scene.
Too often, we’re left standing there by ourselves—exposed to traffic with nothing but flashing ambers and faith.

This isn’t just a job.
This is a lifestyle.

But loving what we do shouldn’t mean accepting that our lives are expendable.

Other states have stepped forward.
Other states have shown they care.

Kentucky has that same opportunity—right now.

âś… Pass House Bill 282
âś… Let us do our jobs
✅ Hold us accountable if it’s misused

But don’t let outdated thinking and political silence keep costing lives.

These are rear-facing lights.
This is about visibility.
This is about respect.
This is about coming home.

We are tired.
We are hurting.
And too many families have already cried enough.

We’re not asking for praise.
We’re asking for protection.

Because every time we step onto that shoulder, we’re risking our lives—and we need to know the people in power care whether we make it home or not.
