The bill amends Title 12 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to introduce a new section, 6220, which governs remote work for licensees in the motor vehicle sales finance sector. It mandates that licensees must allow employees to work from remote locations, provided they meet specific criteria. These criteria include ensuring that licensed activities are supervised, having written policies for remote supervision, maintaining security protocols for accessing customer information, and ensuring that no in-person consumer interactions occur at the employee's personal residence. Additionally, the remote location must not be advertised as a business location of the licensee and cannot be owned or controlled by the licensee.
The legislation aims to formalize the conditions under which remote work can be conducted in the motor vehicle sales finance industry, thereby enhancing operational flexibility while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
