HB 1436 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in inspection of vehicles, further providing for inspection by police or Commonwealth personnel.

This bill allows police officers and state employees to issue written violation notices to drivers or owners when they have probable cause to believe a vehicle is unsafe, improperly equipped, or non-compliant with regulations. The notice must list specific violations and set a deadline for corrections, typically 15 days for most issues or 30 days for emission problems, during which the vehicle owner must provide proof of repairs or pass an inspection. Once the deadline passes without evidence of compliance, the vehicle is prohibited from being driven on Pennsylvania highways until the required corrections are verified and submitted to authorities.
