HB 955 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in size, weight and load, further providing for authority to issue permits.

HB 955 (Pennsylvania House Bill 955) allows commercial vehicle operators to obtain special permits electronically instead of on paper. The bill requires these digital permits to be displayed on a mobile device during inspections and sets clear rules for officers checking them, including protection from liability if they accidentally access unrelated phone data while verifying the permit. If a device can't be accessed, operators must provide a physical copy within five business days. This change directly affects trucking companies and transporters hauling oversized loads who need permits under Pennsylvania's vehicle code.
