SB1101

Pennsylvania SB1101 exempts townships from mandatory use of shadow vehicles during mowing operations.

Pennsylvania SB1101 amends the Second Class Township Code to exempt townships from the requirement to use a shadow vehicle during mowing operations on township roads. A shadow vehicle is defined as a vehicle that follows mobile mowing and maintenance activities within a township. While the bill mandates that townships cannot be required to use such vehicles, it allows for voluntary use if deemed necessary by the board of supervisors. This change applies to mowing operations conducted by township employees or through contracts. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
