HB 245 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in registration of vehicles, further providing for vehicles exempt from registration.

This bill updates Pennsylvania vehicle laws to clarify that multipurpose agricultural vehicles do not require registration if they are used exclusively on farms owned or operated by the same person. Specifically, it allows these vehicles to travel between different parts of a single farm or between two farms located within ten miles of each other without needing to be registered. The change aims to simplify administrative requirements for farmers who operate these types of vehicles within their own agricultural properties. The new rules will become effective 60 days after the bill is enacted.
