An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to operation of vehicles, providing for automated litter enforcement systems in public rights-of-way and highways; and imposing penalties.
This bill allows Pennsylvania state agencies and local municipalities to install automated cameras that issue fines for littering on public roads and highways. To use these systems, local governments must create rules defining enforcement zones, get state approval, and post clear warning signs before the cameras become active. If a vehicle is caught littering, the owner receives a $200 fine that is treated as a civil penalty rather than a criminal conviction. Importantly, this fine does not add points to a driver's record or affect their auto insurance rates.
