(WHTM)– A Pennsylvania lawmaker is proposing legislation that would change the state’s moped laws.
The bill, proposed by State Rep. Roman Kozak (R-14), aims to provide clarity for owners of motorized pedalcycles (mopeds), improve consistency in PennDOT practices, and ensure that mopeds can be smoothly integrated into the Commonwealth’s regulatory framework.
The memo said that the legislation would exempt mopeds from mandatory titling, meaning they would not need to obtain a title. The legislation would also allow for an optional title process so that owners who want a formal vehicle title can request one from PennDOT.

PennDOT is required to register mopeds without a title and may, in lieu of a title, require a bill of sale or VIN for the moped, according to the memo.
State Rep. Kozak said that the legislation doesn’t impose new mandates on moped riders but removes uncertainty.
“This legislation represents an important step in modernizing Pennsylvania law to align with the standards already adopted in many other states. Across the country, moped ownership and recreational use have grown steadily, giving rise to a vibrant cottage industry of hobbyists, collectors, and small businesses,” Rep. Kozak said. “Pennsylvania is home to an active community of moped enthusiasts who restore, maintain, and responsibly operate these vehicles. Updating our laws will support this community, encourage economic activity, and ensure the Commonwealth keeps pace with other states.
The bill has not yet been submitted for introduction.
