(Butler, PA) According to a release from AAA East Central, AAA East Central and its partners are hosting an event to replace peeling license plates for free next week, weather permitting. This event is being planned for Tuesday, September 16th, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at AAA Butler at 138 Clearview Circle in Butler, Pennsylvania. AAA and the Pennsylvania State Police are partnering up for this event where officers will go through examinations of license plates and attendees of this event can place orders for new license plates if necessary. Vehicle owners can be both fined up to $100 and can be pulled over for having a license plate that is deemed illegible in Pennsylvania.  According to PennDOT, a registration plate is deemed illegible when one or more characters cannot be recognized from 50 feet or if the plate shows any blistering, peeling, discoloration, or loss of reflectivity. When an authorized PennDOT or law enforcement representative determines that a plate is illegible, motorists can request replacement registration plates.
