Vehicles: tolls.

Subdivision (d) now states that the toll facility agreement operates 'in lieu of the requirements in subdivision (a),' making it an explicit alternative path to toll exemption rather than a separate mechanism. Emergency service providers can use either the license plate/CHP authorization route or the agreement route.

The obligation for toll facility operators to enter into agreements with emergency service providers now includes a 'good faith' qualifier ('shall, in good faith, enter into an agreement'), softening what was previously an unqualified mandatory duty.

References to 'California Highway Patrol' were updated to 'Department of the California Highway Patrol,' using the proper formal agency name.

The fiscal committee designation changed from 'no' to 'yes,' indicating the bill now carries identified fiscal implications that require fiscal committee review.

The bill text was reformatted from a printed legislative document style (with line numbers, centered headers, and column layout) into a web page format with navigation elements, quick search boxes, and different heading structure. The legal content of Section 23301.5 is identical in both versions.

Section 23301.5(a)(1) now allows a vehicle to qualify for the toll exemption if it is authorized as an emergency vehicle by the California Highway Patrol under Section 165, even without displaying an exempt California license plate. Previously, displaying an exempt plate was a strict requirement.

The fiscal committee designation changed from 'no' to 'yes,' indicating the bill now requires fiscal committee review, likely because the expanded exemption could affect toll revenue.
