HARRISBURG, March 25 – Today, state Reps. Greg Scott, D-Montgomery, and Pat Gallagher, D-Phila., joined Gov. Josh Shapiro for the ceremonial signing of their bill that bans license plate flipping devices in Pennsylvania.
The bill was officially signed into law on Nov. 18, 2024, and it is known as Act 150 of 2024.
"License plate flipping devices have no place on our roads. They serve only to help bad actors evade accountability—whether it’s to dodge tolls, commit reckless driving, or even more serious crimes,” Scott said. “With this new law, we’re closing a dangerous loophole and making it clear that these devices are illegal across Pennsylvania. I’m proud to have worked with Rep. Gallagher and our colleagues to get this commonsense, bipartisan legislation to the governor’s desk, and I’m grateful to Governor Shapiro for signing it into law. This is a win for public safety and for every Pennsylvanian who wants safer, more accountable roads."
“The signing of this bill will create accountability for Pennsylvania drivers, as it helps to close ambiguities that have existed in our state law which allow individuals to use these devices as loopholes to get out of making payments they owe,” Gallagher said. “I thank Gov. Shapiro for signing this important bill into law, Rep. Scott for working with me on it, and my colleagues in the PA legislature who passed it through both chambers.”
