HB 313 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in registration of vehicles, further providing for vehicles exempt from registration.

HB 313 amends Pennsylvania's vehicle registration law to create new exemptions for farm vehicles based on weight. Type A vehicles (under 10,000 lbs) can travel between farms up to 50 miles apart or to businesses within 50 miles for buying/selling agricultural goods or repairs. Type B vehicles (10,000-17,000 lbs) have stricter limits, allowing travel between farms up to 25 miles apart or to businesses within 25 miles for agricultural transactions. All exempt vehicles must operate between sunrise and sunset. This directly affects Pennsylvania farmers using heavy equipment for farm operations, reducing registration requirements for specific on-farm and short-distance agricultural activities.
