This bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding the suspension of vehicle registration due to unpaid parking violations. It specifically modifies the conditions under which the Department of Transportation can suspend a vehicle's registration. The bill removes the previous stipulation that the suspension applies only after a sixth unpaid parking violation in cities of the first class. Instead, it introduces new criteria, allowing for suspension if the vehicle owner has failed to pay six or more parking tickets or has accumulated over $500 in fines or civil penalties from parking violations issued by a parking authority or parking enforcement office.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for notification processes between parking authorities or enforcement offices and the Department of Transportation, ensuring that vehicle owners are informed of potential suspensions. It also establishes a three-year limitation on imposing suspensions based on parking violations and outlines the fees associated with reinstating vehicle registration. The amendments aim to streamline the enforcement of parking regulations and clarify the roles of various authorities involved in the process. The changes will take effect 24 months after the bill's passage.
