Bill Summary

An Act concerning certain electronic toll collection system processes and amending and supplementing P.L.1997, c.59.

AI Summary

This bill amends the laws governing the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to require them to check the E-ZPass database before issuing E-ZPass violation notices. Specifically, the bill prohibits the authorities from issuing a notice of violation or charging administrative fees to the owner of a vehicle that travels through a toll plaza or facility dedicated for the electronic toll collection system, unless the authority has first determined that the vehicle is not associated with an existing E-ZPass account. If the vehicle is associated with an existing E-ZPass account, the authority must relay the license plate information to the E-ZPass system for toll payment from the appropriate account holder, who retains the right to dispute any such toll charge.
