HB 616 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in size, weight and load, further providing for conditions of permits and security for damages.

HB 616 amends Pennsylvania's vehicle permit rules to allow oversized (over-length, over-width, or over-height) and overweight commercial vehicles to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week under permits, removing previous restrictions that limited operation to "sunrise to sunset." This directly affects trucking companies and transporters requiring special permits for large or heavy loads. The key change modifies Section 4962(f.3) of Title 75 (Vehicles) to eliminate time-based operating limits, with some exceptions specified in the law. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
