Bill > S00284

This bill directs the board responsible for central business district (CBD) tolling to submit a recommendation to the legislature regarding toll amounts by April 15, 2027, which requires legislative approval before implementation. The bill emphasizes legislative accountability by mandating that the legislature must vote on the toll recommendation by June 31, 2027, and only allows the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority to establish toll amounts if the legislature approves them. The board must consider multiple factors in recommending toll amounts, including traffic patterns, public impact, environmental effects, and potential discounts for specific vehicle types. Additionally, the bill requires the board to recommend a comprehensive privacy risk plan that protects personal data, mandating that any use or disclosure of an individual's personal information (such as location data) must have the explicit consent of the individual. The bill aims to ensure transparency, legislative oversight, and privacy protection in the implementation of CBD tolling, addressing concerns about previous attempts to establish commuter taxes without sufficient public and legislative input.
