TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE HEIGHT OF VEHICLES; AND TO CREATE AN OFFENSE FOR THE OPERATION OF A VEHICLE WITH A MODIFIED BUMPER.
SB 411 makes it illegal to operate certain vehicles with a front bumper at least 4 inches taller than the rear bumper. It directly affects drivers of passenger cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, and panel trucks on public roads. The law imposes fines ($250 for first offense, $500 for second, and a 12-month license suspension for a third offense within a year) without requiring proof of intent. This bill, now Act 492, was signed into law by the Governor on April 9, 2025.
