HB 379 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; and, in licensing of drivers, further providing for persons exempt from licensing.

HB 379 amends Pennsylvania's vehicle registration and driver licensing laws to create new exemptions for agricultural purposes. It exempts certain farm equipment (implements of husbandry, trailers, or semitrailers) from registration when operated between a farmer's home and an annual school-hosted agricultural event, limited to trips under 25 miles. The bill also exempts individuals aged 14 or older from needing a driver's license to operate such equipment on public roads during daylight hours for these specific farm-to-school trips. These changes directly affect Pennsylvania farmers and young agricultural workers traveling to educational events. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
