An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in miscellaneous provisions relating to operation of vehicles, further providing for the offense of off-road vehicles in urban municipalities.
This bill amends Pennsylvania vehicle laws to clarify how off-road vehicles like all-terrain vehicles and dirt bikes can be operated within urban municipalities. It establishes that existing state rules do not override local ordinances, allowing cities to create their own regulations that permit, restrict, or ban these vehicles within their boundaries. The legislation also preserves any pre-existing local rules that were in place before this law takes effect, ensuring cities retain control over off-road vehicle use in their areas. The changes become active 60 days after the bill is signed into law.

MINOR
The bill was updated from a preliminary draft to a version reported by the Committee on Transportation with amendments. The most significant change is in the 'Construction' section, which now clarifies that local ordinances can penalize, prohibit, permit, or regulate off-road vehicles more strictly than the state law allows. This removes any ambiguity that the state law preempts stricter local rules, effectively allowing municipalities to impose tougher restrictions on off-road vehicle use.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding local authority was expanded to explicitly permit municipalities to enforce stricter regulations than the state baseline, whereas the previous version did not clearly allow for such stricter local measures.
ENFORCEMENT
Added language to Section 3722(f) stating that the act does not prevent municipalities from enforcing ordinances that penalize or regulate off-road vehicles more strictly than state sub-sections (A), (C), and (E).
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill header to reflect the new Printer's Number (PN 3331) and added a reference to the prior version (PN 3111).
TIMELINE
Changed the committee reference from 'referred to' on March 30, 2026, to 'as reported from' on May 4, 2026, indicating the bill has passed committee review.
