HB 2600 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in miscellaneous provisions relating to operation of vehicles, providing for reimbursement of expenses for towing and recovery services incurred by safety entities; and imposing duties on the Department of Transportation.

This bill creates a new process for Pennsylvania safety agencies and roadway authorities to be reimbursed for towing and recovery costs when clearing vehicles from roads. The Department of Transportation would manage this program, which allows reimbursement only when the vehicle owner or their insurance cannot pay, and requires proof that the services were necessary to restore safety or traffic flow. The Department must review each reimbursement claim within 45 days and submit an annual report to the General Assembly detailing the number and value of approved claims. The legislation clarifies that the Department can pursue cost recovery from at-fault parties and sets up rules for handling complex incidents, while explicitly stating it does not change existing towing laws or regulate pricing.
