An Act amending the act of December 22, 1983 (P.L.306, No.84), known as the Board of Vehicles Act, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions; in vehicles, further providing for grounds for disciplinary proceedings and repealing provisions relating to recreational vehicle shows, recreational vehicle off-premise sales, recreational vehicle exhibitions and recreational vehicle rallies and to off-premise sales, shows, exhibitions or rallies on Sundays; and, in recreational vehicles, further providing for definitions and for warranty obligations and providing for recreational vehicle events and for recreational vehicle events on Sundays.
HB 38 updates Pennsylvania's Board of Vehicles Act to modernize rules for recreational vehicle (RV) events. It removes restrictions on Sunday sales and events, allows RV shows/exhibitions to last up to 60 days yearly (with specific limits per month), and repeals outdated bonding requirements ($30,000 bond for dealers). The bill also adds new registration rules for out-of-state RV dealers participating in events. These changes directly affect RV dealers, manufacturers, and distributors who host or attend RV shows, sales, or exhibitions in Pennsylvania.
