The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Section 1305(a) of Title 75 of the Pennsylvania
Consolidated Statutes is amended to read:
§ 1305. Application for registration.
(a) General rule.--Application for the registration of a
vehicle shall be made to the department upon the appropriate
form or forms furnished by the department. The application shall
contain the full name and address of the owner or owners,
including county of residence; the make, model, year and vehicle
identification number of the vehicle; and such other information
as the department may require. Program participants in the
Address Confidentiality Program under 23 Pa.C.S. Ch. 67
(relating to domestic and sexual violence victim address
confidentiality) may use a substitute address designated by the
Office of Victim Advocate as their address. Applicants for
registration of a truck, truck tractor, trailer or bus shall
provide the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or the
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR), as applicable. If the
manufacturer's ratings are not available, the applicant shall
provide sufficient information as to the horsepower, braking
capacity and such other data as necessary for the department to
determine an equivalent measure of the vehicle's hauling and
stopping capability. If the applicant wishes to register a
vehicle at a registered gross weight less than the gross vehicle
weight rating, the application shall include information as to
weight, load and any other such information as the department
may require. The application shall be accompanied by self-
certification of financial responsibility and the applicable
fee.
