30 Pa.C.S. § 925

(a) General rule.--Subject to subsection (d), a person charged with violating any provision of this title which is a summary offense may sign, within ten days of the commission of the offense, an acknowledgment of the offense committed and pay to any authorized officer of the commission the penalty in full as fixed by this title. The printed receipt for this payment shall only prove full satisfaction of the monetary fine for the offense committed and in no way shall limit the commission from further revoking fishing or boating privileges.

(b) Notice of right to hearing.--Before any person signs an acknowledgment pursuant to this section, he will be advised of his right to a hearing in a judicial proceeding. The printed receipt shall have prominently printed thereon a statement that the person charged has a right to a hearing and that if he elects to sign the acknowledgment he is forfeiting that right.

(c) Stopping payment of check.--Any person who makes payment to the commission by personal check for an acknowledgment pursuant to this section and who stops payment on the check commits a summary offense of the second degree. The official receipt for payment of the penalty, issued by an authorized officer of the commission, shall become void and the prosecution of the person or persons named on the receipt shall be allowed to continue.

(d) Limitations on acknowledgments of guilt.--On and after December 31, 1999, acknowledgments of guilt pursuant to this section shall be used only in such counties as the commission may designate by regulation for such use upon a finding that the county has summary offense procedures that differ from those used in other counties.
