HB 2341 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in rules of the road in general, further providing for speed timing devices.

This bill updates Pennsylvania laws regarding the accuracy and testing of speed timing devices used by law enforcement, such as radar guns and laser meters. It requires that all mechanical, electrical, and electronic devices be approved by the Department of Transportation and tested for accuracy within one year before they are used in a traffic violation case. The legislation also allows the official certification of these devices to be submitted electronically by technicians, streamlining the administrative process. By clarifying these testing standards and procedures, the bill aims to ensure that evidence used in traffic court is based on properly calibrated equipment.
