Bill > SB864

This bill amends Pennsylvania's vehicle code to modify regulations around financial responsibility for motor vehicle insurance. Specifically, the bill introduces two key changes: First, it allows vehicle owners or their insurers to avoid penalties for lack of proof of financial responsibility if they provide such proof within ten days of an alleged violation, giving drivers a short grace period to rectify documentation issues. Second, the bill requires insurance companies to notify the state Department of Transportation within ten days after issuing a new motor vehicle liability insurance policy that is intended to serve as proof of financial responsibility, creating a more proactive reporting mechanism. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving insurers and vehicle owners time to adjust to the new requirements. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for drivers while ensuring that the state maintains accurate records of vehicle insurance coverage.
