An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions, further providing for definitions; in licensing of drivers, further providing for drivers required to be licensed, providing for undocumented immigrant driver's license invalid and further providing for persons exempt from licensing and for carrying and exhibiting driver's license on demand; in miscellaneous provisions, further providing for the offense of homicide by vehicle, for the offense of aggravated assault by vehicle, for the offense of homicide by vehicle while driving under influence and for the offense of aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under influence; in enforcement, further providing for impoundment for nonpayment of fines and vehicles or combinations with a gross vehicle weight rating of 17,000 pounds or less; in penalties and disposition of fines, further providing for subsequent convictions of certain offenses; and imposing penalties.
This Pennsylvania bill updates vehicle laws to clarify that driver's licenses issued to undocumented immigrants in other states are invalid within the state. It requires all drivers to carry their license when requested by law enforcement and establishes specific penalties for driving without a valid license, including higher fines and potential jail time for repeat offenders. Additionally, the legislation introduces new criminal charges for causing homicide or aggravated assault while operating a vehicle, with enhanced penalties if the driver is under the influence. The bill also expands the types of vehicles subject to impoundment for unpaid fines and clarifies which nonresidents are exempt from needing a Pennsylvania license.
