PA SB739

Expands Pennsylvania's existing "master key" law to cover modern vehicle theft technology, including devices, software, and computer programs used to electronically program/emulate key fobs or intercept key fob signals to unlock or start vehicles

Manufacturing, selling, transferring, using, or possessing illicit vehicle theft devices is a first-degree misdemeanor; aiding another person's use of such devices carries the same penalty

Exempts law enforcement, government agencies, National Insurance Crime Bureau employees, locksmiths, mechanics, car dealers, rental agencies, manufacturers, repossession agencies, and carriers acting in ordinary course of business

Requires exempt parties (mechanics, locksmiths, repossession agencies, and certain business entities) to report lost or stolen illicit devices to law enforcement within 48 hours or face a summary offense with fines of $250 (first offense) or $500 (subsequent offenses)

Takes effect 60 days after enactment
