Bill > SB997

This bill modifies the composition of the Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee (MCSAC) by increasing its total membership from 31 to 32-33 members and adding two new representative positions. Specifically, the bill adds one member from the Pennsylvania Online Messengers Association Board of Directors and one member from the Highly Automated Vehicle Trucking Industry. These new members are part of the 24-25 public members who are appointed by the Governor and are expected to have extensive experience and knowledge of motor carrier transportation and safety activities in Pennsylvania. The purpose appears to be ensuring that emerging transportation sectors like online delivery services and autonomous trucking have representation on this advisory committee, which likely provides guidance on motor carrier safety regulations. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
