Haggard, unreadable license plates are a prevalent problem in Pennsylvania. Drivers with illegible plates are in violation of Section 1332 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, which may result in a $100 fine. Many of our constituents drive around unknowingly aware that their peeling, worn out plate is a liability.
 
Current law provides that only a PA State Trooper or a certified inspection mechanic can initiate the process of getting an illegible plate replaced. Our vehicle owners deserve more options.
 
I plan on reintroducing my legislation (HB 1919) from the 2023-2024 Session which would enable our district staff to initiate the process. Our staff has access to all the criteria necessitated; numerous offices in the Commonwealth, camera, state connected computer, contacts at PENNDOT that can supply plates, and a system for return of old plates.
 
Please consider signing onto this legislation.
