This bill amends the Second Class Township Code, specifically addressing mowing operations along township roads. It introduces a new section, Section 2302.1, which states that townships are not required to use a "shadow vehicle" during mowing operations conducted by township employees or contractors. A shadow vehicle is defined as a vehicle that follows mobile mowing and maintenance activities within a township. However, the bill allows townships the option to voluntarily use a shadow vehicle if the board of supervisors deems it necessary.
The legislation aims to provide flexibility for townships in managing their mowing operations without the mandatory requirement of a shadow vehicle, potentially reducing costs and administrative burdens. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
