An Act amending the act of June 25, 1931 (P.L.1352, No.332), referred to as the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Compact, providing for veto power by the Governor over certain actions; further providing for audits; and providing the Governor of each state with power to ratify or veto certain actions taken by commissioners.

HB 765 amends the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Compact to give governors of Pennsylvania and New Jersey the power to veto specific actions taken by the bridge commission within 10 days of receiving certified meeting minutes. It also requires the commission to undergo biennial performance audits jointly conducted by Pennsylvania’s Auditor General and New Jersey’s State Auditor, with reports due by December 31 of odd-numbered years. These changes apply to the commission’s management of toll bridges and related facilities over the Delaware River, which are jointly operated by Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The bill adds oversight mechanisms without altering the commission’s core responsibilities for bridge operations and maintenance.
