An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in registration of vehicles, further providing for registration card to be signed and exhibited on demand.
SB 895 requires drivers in Pennsylvania to carry a signed vehicle registration card (either physical or electronic) while operating a vehicle and to show it to police upon request. It directly affects all drivers who operate vehicles on public roads. The bill adds a provision mandating that registration cards be in the driver's possession or in the vehicle and specifies that electronic proof of registration (including financial responsibility) satisfies requirements. It also grants police officers immunity from liability if they accidentally view unrelated content or cause damage while checking electronic proof of registration in good faith. The changes take effect within 60 to 12 months, depending on the specific provision.
