Relates to requiring approval by the comptroller for a toll increase by the New York state thruway authority

This bill (A 2246) requires the New York State Thruway Authority to obtain prior approval from the state comptroller before implementing any toll increases. The authority must submit proposed toll hikes to the comptroller for review, who must issue a public report of their approval or disapproval within 60 days. The comptroller's findings are shared with the governor, legislative finance committee chairs, and their ranking minority members. This directly affects the Thruway Authority’s ability to adjust tolls and provides oversight to ensure toll changes align with financial obligations.
