The bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, focusing on the application for vehicle titles, registration processes, and financial responsibility requirements. Key changes include the repeal of provisions related to temporary registration cards and permits, transitioning to a system that exclusively issues permanent registration cards and plates. The bill introduces a new section that mandates the Department of Transportation to develop an expedited process for issuing permanent registration cards and plates within two years of the bill's effective date. Additionally, it allows for the verification of signatures by licensed vehicle auction employees or issuing agents in lieu of notarization, provided they maintain a copy of the identification used for verification.
Other amendments include the removal of references to temporary registration in various sections, emphasizing the shift towards permanent registration. The bill also updates the financial responsibility requirements and modifies the fees associated with registration plates, specifically for electronically issued plates. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline vehicle registration processes and enhance compliance with financial responsibility laws while eliminating temporary registration options. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
