An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in operation of vehicles, providing for automated license plate reader systems.
SB 933 establishes a permitting system for government agencies to install automated license plate reader (ALPR) systems on Pennsylvania's state highways. It requires safety-tested poles (MASH-rated or behind barriers), specifies minimum distances from travel lanes and curbs, and mandates a 30-day review process by the Department of Transportation for permit applications. The bill directly affects state/local law enforcement, transportation authorities, and other government agencies seeking to deploy ALPRs for traffic enforcement or safety purposes. It does not cover toll systems or private devices, focusing solely on government use of these systems on public roads. The law takes effect 30 days after enactment.
