The bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding the registration of vehicles, specifically focusing on exemptions for farm vehicles. It modifies Section 1302, which outlines the types of vehicles exempt from registration. The amendments primarily affect the operational restrictions for farm vehicles based on their gross vehicle weight ratings.

Notably, the bill removes the limitation that farm vehicles can only be driven on highways from sunrise to sunset. For Type A farm vehicles (gross vehicle weight rating not exceeding 10,000 pounds), the driving distance between farms is maintained at 50 miles, while for Type B vehicles (gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds and not exceeding 17,000 pounds), the distance between farms is set at 25 miles. The bill also retains provisions for driving to places of business for agricultural purposes and vehicle servicing within specified distances. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
