Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 28, 1984 (P.L.150, No.28), entitled "An act relating to the rights of purchasers and lessees of defective new motor vehicles," further providing for definitions.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Automobile Lemon Law by updating the definition of "new motor vehicle" to include a more comprehensive and specific description. The bill adds a definition for "farm equipment" as a new and unused vehicle specifically designed and manufactured for agricultural purposes, such as planting, seeding, cultivating, harvesting, or applying soil nutrients, fertilizers, or chemicals. The definition of "new motor vehicle" is expanded to explicitly include two categories: (1) self-propelled vehicles designed to transport up to 15 people, primarily used for personal, family, or household purposes, including demonstrator or dealer cars, and (2) farm equipment. The bill clarifies that the definition includes motorcycles but excludes motor homes, off-road vehicles, and dual sport motorcycles driven off-road (unless they are farm equipment). This amendment provides more clarity and specificity to the existing law regarding what constitutes a "new motor vehicle" under the Automobile Lemon Law. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
