An Act amending the act of October 9, 2008 (P.L.1511, No.124), known as the Diesel-Powered Motor Vehicle Idling Act, further providing for penalties.
HB 954 amends Pennsylvania's 2008 Diesel-Powered Motor Vehicle Idling Act to adjust penalties for violations. It increases fines for drivers or owners of heavy diesel vehicles (over 10,001 pounds gross weight) engaged in commerce, or operators of locations where such vehicles load, unload, or park, who violate idling restrictions. The bill sets a fine range of $150 to $300 per offense, plus court costs. This directly affects commercial truck drivers, delivery fleets, and businesses operating large diesel vehicles. The change modifies existing penalty levels without altering the idling ban itself.
