Establishes a central business district toll exemption for veterans
This bill exempts New York state-resident veterans from paying tolls in New York City's central business district. It directly affects veterans who live in New York and use toll roads in that area. The law amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to remove toll charges for eligible veterans, using the same definition of "veteran" as in the Veterans' Services Law. The exemption takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
