Bill > SB1077

This bill amends Pennsylvania vehicle laws to formally recognize and regulate "roadable aircraft," which are aircraft designed to also operate as motor vehicles. The bill adds definitions for terms like "N-Number registration marking" (the alphanumeric identifier assigned by the Federal Aviation Administration) and "roadable aircraft," and establishes specific rules for their registration and operation. Roadable aircraft will be issued special registration plates with their N-number, and will be treated as motor vehicles when on public highways but as aircraft when at airports or in flight. The bill exempts these vehicles from certain emissions inspections and allows for specialized vehicle inspection procedures. Additionally, the bill updates the definition of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to explicitly exclude roadable aircraft. The legislation aims to create a clear legal framework for these hybrid vehicles, ensuring they comply with both motor vehicle and aircraft regulations while providing a pathway for their registration and use in Pennsylvania. The bill will take effect 60 days after passage.
