Item 1

 
1. It removes a requirement that state rules regarding the
transportation of hazardous materials that adopt federal rules by
reference must contain a brief description of the substance of the
referenced federal rule.

 
2. It allows all law enforcement officers to enforce
disability parking restrictions. It also creates a traffic
infraction prohibiting a person from parking in a parking space
that is clearly marked for use by a physically disabled person
only if the person has not been issued a disability registration
plate or placard or is not transporting a person who has been
issued a disability registration plate or placard.

 
3. It allows an employee of the State Police designated as a
motor vehicle inspector to immediately suspend or revoke a
license issued to any official inspection station or an
inspection mechanic for a violation of the laws or rules
pertaining to motor vehicle inspections.

 
4. It clarifies that one blue auxiliary light may be
displayed and used on the rear of an emergency medical services
vehicle, fire department vehicle or hazardous material response
vehicle that is visible to rear-approaching traffic only. Fire
vehicles that are privately owned vehicles are excluded from the
vehicles that may display a blue light.

 
5. It changes the requirements regarding school bus
inspections so that each bus must be inspected twice per year at
an inspection station, at times set by the State Police in
consultation with the Department of Education, and once instead
of twice per year by a State Police officer.

 
6. It adds a cross-reference that was inadvertently omitted
regarding prior convictions to be considered for the aggravated
punishment category for operating under the influence.
