Vehicles used for agricultural purposes. Provides that trailers and semitrailers used for certain agricultural purposes may be operated without tail lights or brake lights on the highways of the Commonwealth between sunrise and sunset, provided that such trailer or semitrailer has affixed to the rear end either (i) two or more reflectors of a type approved by the Superintendent of State Police or (ii) at least 100 square inches of solid reflectorized material. The bill also clarifies that the prohibition on operating a vehicle without registering it or displaying the issued license plates also applies to the failure to display a permanent farm use placard assigned to such vehicle. Existing law authorizes a court to dismiss a summons for such a violation if proof of compliance is provided to the court on or before the court date.
