AN ACT relating to requirements for certain notices or invoices relating to toll collections by a toll project entity.
AI Summary
This bill modifies various sections of the Texas Transportation Code related to toll collections, primarily changing the method of sending invoices and notices from first-class mail to certified mail. The bill requires toll project entities, counties, and transportation authorities to send invoices, notices of nonpayment, and other related communications by certified mail instead of first-class mail. It also provides provisions for electronic record transmission of these documents if the recipient agrees to such terms. The bill introduces a new requirement that toll project entities must send at least three written notices or invoices containing any outstanding balance due before taking further collection actions. Additionally, the bill removes presumptions about when mail is considered received and provides more specific guidelines for notifying vehicle owners and lessees about unpaid tolls. These changes aim to improve communication and transparency in the toll collection process, ensuring that vehicle owners and lessees are properly informed about outstanding tolls and potential consequences. The modifications will apply to tolls incurred on or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025.
