This bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding the registration of vehicles, specifically by adding a new exemption for certain types of vehicles. Under the new provision, any new or leased motor vehicle, excluding motorcycles and motorized bicycles, that achieves an estimated average of 40 miles per gallon for city driving will be exempt from registration fees for the first two years. This fuel efficiency must be determined according to the 2024 Fuel Economy Guide published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Energy.

After the initial two-year exemption period, these vehicles will be classified according to the standard vehicle classifications established by the department. The bill aims to encourage the use of fuel-efficient vehicles by providing a temporary financial incentive through registration exemptions. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
