Summary

The bill adds new definitions to Pennsylvania’s vehicle laws and lets the Department of Transportation issue a digital version of a driver’s license or identification card that can be displayed on a smartphone or other device. It treats the electronic version as equivalent to the paper card for most purposes, while still requiring a physical card for certain legal situations. The change aims to give motorists a modern, convenient way to prove their driving privilege and identity.
