Bill Summary
Amending the act of May 1, 1933 (P.L.103, No.69), entitled "An act concerning townships of the second class; and amending, revising, consolidating and changing the law relating thereto," in roads, streets, bridges and highways, providing for mowing operations.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Second Class Township Code to address mowing operations along township roads by eliminating the requirement for townships to use a "shadow vehicle" (a vehicle that follows mobile mowing and maintenance activities) during road mowing, whether the work is performed by township employees or contractors. The bill specifies that townships are not mandated to use a shadow vehicle, though they retain the option to do so if the board of supervisors determines it is necessary. This change appears to provide townships with more flexibility in managing their road maintenance operations and potentially reduce costs associated with requiring an additional support vehicle during mowing activities. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving townships time to adjust their mowing procedures accordingly.
