Relating to tolling.

Maddy summaryHB 3579 requires Oregon voters to approve any new tolls proposed by the Oregon Transportation Commission before implementation. The bill amends state law to mandate that tolls can only be assessed after a majority of voters approve them in a referendum. This directly affects the Transportation Commission (which must seek voter approval) and Oregon residents (who gain a direct vote on tolls). The key provision replaces the Commission's authority to implement tolls with a voter approval requirement, applying to all new tolling proposals across the state.
