Bill > S02691

This bill amends the New York General Business Law to prohibit rental vehicle companies from imposing additional fees, charges, or penalties on authorized drivers for using electronic toll collection systems or photo-monitoring systems, beyond the actual cost of the toll itself. Specifically, the bill prevents rental car companies from charging extra administrative or processing fees when a customer uses an electronic toll collection system (like E-ZPass) or a photo-monitoring system to pay tolls during their rental period. The law would take effect 60 days after becoming law, and is designed to protect consumers from being overcharged for routine toll payments while renting a vehicle. By limiting fees to only the actual cost of the toll, the bill aims to provide more transparency and fairness in rental vehicle transactions, ensuring that customers are not burdened with unnecessary extra charges related to toll payment.
