SB 1101 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), known as The Second Class Township Code, in roads, streets, bridges and highways, providing for mowing operations.

SB 1101 amends Pennsylvania's Second Class Township Code to remove a requirement that townships must use a "shadow vehicle" (a vehicle that follows mowing equipment) during road maintenance. The bill states townships are no longer obligated to employ such vehicles for mowing operations on township roads, whether conducted by township staff or contractors. However, townships may still choose to use shadow vehicles voluntarily if their board of supervisors deems it necessary. This change directly affects second-class townships across Pennsylvania and takes effect 60 days after enactment.
