SB 572 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in turnpike, providing for State intercept for unpaid tolls.

SB 572 allows Pennsylvania to use lottery winnings over $2,500 and state tax refunds to pay unpaid Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls. It requires the Department of Revenue to check for toll debt before issuing winnings or refunds, and to deduct the owed amount (including fees/penalties) if found. Affected individuals - those with outstanding turnpike tolls - must be notified, can appeal within 30 days, and the state must report annual collections to lawmakers. The bill does not change toll rates or create new debt but provides a new method for collecting existing unpaid tolls.
