currently valid annual registration to a seasonal registration,
the annual fee prescribed for the vehicle by Chapter 19
(relating to fees) shall be paid in full by the applicant
regardless of the number of months chosen for registration by
the applicant. Upon receipt of the appropriate fee and the
properly completed form, including all information required by
this chapter, the department shall issue a seasonal registration
that shall expire on the last day of the expiration month chosen
by the registrant. No insurer of a vehicle belonging to any
owner or lessee who obtains a seasonal registration and who
applies for or receives a reduced automobile insurance premium
on account thereof shall be required to provide any contractual
coverage, whether in the form of the provision of a defense or
the payment of first-party or third-party benefits or otherwise,
to the owner or lessee in connection with any event occurring
during that part of the year in which the vehicle is not
registered; and such owner or lessee shall be treated for all
purposes, including, without limitation, ascertaining rights to
stack coverages and to uninsured and underinsured motorist
coverage, as a person who does not own that vehicle and has no
duty to carry financial responsibility on it for that part of
the year.

Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
