REFERRED TO COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION, NOVEMBER 7, 2012
AN ACT
Amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated
Statutes, providing for address change reporting.
The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated
Statutes is amended by adding a section to read:
§ 1515.1. Address change reporting.
(a) General rule.--If the department receives information
through an affidavit of the owner of the property listed on a
person's application or driver's license that the person who
applied or received a driver's license or identification card
allegedly does not reside at that address, a letter shall be
sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the
individual requiring proof of residency within 15 days.
Acceptable proof of residency shall include the following:
(1) A lease agreement.
(2) A utility bill.
(3) Any other documentation that links the person to
that address.
(b) Cancellation.--If a person fails to respond or does not
present appropriate documentation or if mail is returned to the
department, the record shall be deemed canceled 15 days after
the department receives the return receipt from the registered
mail sent to the individual under subsection (a), and the
department shall place a code in the person's record so that no
activity such as a renewal or duplicate request may take place
until the residency requirement is met and verified by the
department's risk management office. Subject to the provisions
of any other law, the code shall be available to law enforcement
officials. The department shall notify the Department of State
and the county election bureau of the county in which the
address of the canceled record is located of the cancellation of
the record.
(c) Official record.--After cancellation of the driver's
license or identification card by the department, the last known
address shall remain on the department's record as part of the
official record.
(d) Penalty.--A person who knowingly submits a false
affidavit pursuant to subsection (a) commits a misdemeanor of
the third degree and shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay
a fine of $10,000.
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
