Bill > HB1535

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to modify the provisions for renewing vehicle registrations. Key changes include: the Department of Transportation (PennDOT) must now send a renewal application and a text message or email (if the registrant has provided their contact information) at least 60 days before the expiration date, with the email or text message sent weekly until the registration is renewed; and the requirement for a self-certification of current safety inspection for motor carrier vehicles when renewing the registration. The bill also clarifies that failure to receive a renewal application does not relieve the registrant of the responsibility to renew the registration. The changes take effect 60 days after passage of the bill.
