AI Summary
This bill amends Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to make several changes. It requires the Department of Transportation to phase out existing "handicapped" placards and replace them with "accessibility" placards, and to change all references to "handicap" and "handicapped" to "accessible" and "accessibility" in related materials. It also exempts nonprofit organizations that principally serve individuals with mental or physical disabilities from vehicle registration fees, and provides definitions and powers related to the administration and enforcement of parking regulations in cities of the first, second, and third classes, including references to "accessible" parking.
