Relates to limiting fines for the late payment or evasion of tolls charged by a public authority
Maddy summaryBill S 7969 limits the fines public authorities can impose for late payment or evasion of tolls. It directly affects drivers who use toll roads and the authorities that manage them. The bill caps any fine, fee, or administrative charge for a late toll payment at twenty-five percent of the original toll amount owed. For toll evasion violations, it establishes a maximum penalty of twenty-five percent of the evaded toll, replacing previous escalating penalties. Additionally, it outlines requirements for toll bills sent via the "tolls by mail" program and maintains existing prohibitions on periodic administrative charges for electronic payment methods like E-ZPass.
