This bill amends the Diesel-Powered Motor Vehicle Idling Act, specifically focusing on the penalties for violations. The amendment modifies Section 5(a) by removing the provision that held the owner or operator of a location where diesel-powered vehicles load, unload, or park accountable for idling violations. Now, only the driver or owner of the diesel-powered motor vehicle itself will be subject to penalties for idling violations.

Under the revised law, any driver or owner of a diesel-powered motor vehicle with a gross weight of 10,001 pounds or more who violates the idling restrictions will be committing a summary offense. Upon conviction, they will face a fine ranging from $150 to $300, along with court costs. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
