Bill > HB547

This bill amends Pennsylvania law regarding illuminated signs for transportation network company (TNC) drivers, such as those who work for ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft. The legislation allows TNC drivers to display an illuminated sign inside their vehicle, but only if the sign is first reviewed and approved by either the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) or the Philadelphia Parking Authority. The bill specifies that these regulatory bodies will have 15 business days to review the proposed sign, and the transportation network company must file the sign for approval. Importantly, the bill prohibits these illuminated signs from using blue illumination or mimicking the visual signals used on authorized emergency vehicles. The changes aim to provide a clear, standardized process for TNC drivers to identify their vehicles while ensuring that these signs do not cause confusion with official emergency vehicles. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
