A western Kentucky lawmaker is trying to find a compromise in the debate over a law that requires slow-moving vehicles to display a reflective triangle, a requirement that Amish men say infringes on their religious beliefs.
Republican Sen. Ken Winters of Murray has asked legislative staff to look at laws in other states in an effort to find some common ground.
The debate stems from a state law that requires slow-moving vehicles to display an emblem of a fluorescent yellow-orange triangle with a reflective border that is dark red. It affects Amish communities all over the state that use horses and buggies for travel instead of motorized vehicles.
The color is a violation of the religious beliefs of some Amish sects and several Amish men in western Kentucky have been ordered to jail for refusing to obey the law.
