A 8859 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to limiting fines for the late payment or evasion of tolls charged by a public authority

This bill caps fines for late toll payments or toll evasion at 25% of the toll amount owed, directly affecting drivers who miss payments on public toll facilities. It revises penalty tiers: first violations max at 25% of the toll (or $50, whichever is greater), second violations at 5x the toll (or $100), and third violations at 10x the toll (or $150). Toll authorities must send detailed bills within 10 days, including payment deadlines, dispute procedures, and vehicle license plate details. All fines, including late fees, are strictly limited to 25% of the toll amount.
