HB 982 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in registration of vehicles, further providing for acknowledgment of littering provisions; and, in licensing of drivers, further providing for acknowledgment of littering provisions.

HB 982 requires that all Pennsylvania vehicle registration cards and driver's license applications include a clear statement about littering laws. The statement explains that littering from vehicles - such as dropping trash on roads, public property, or waterways - is illegal and can result in fines up to $300 or community service for litter pick-up. This applies to every vehicle owner and driver during registration or licensing, ensuring they acknowledge these rules at the point of application. The bill does not change existing littering penalties but mandates this notice to inform applicants about Section 3709 of the Vehicle Code.
