Bill > S04530

This bill amends the public authorities law to provide a toll exemption for active duty military members stationed at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn and Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island who reside in New York City, specifically for the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. The exemption applies to E-ZPass tolls when using a New York customer service E-ZPass account for travel within the state, but does not cover commercial vehicle trips. Additionally, the bill extends this toll exemption to the spouses and dependent children of these military members, provided they live in the same household and reside in a city with a population of one million or more (which in this case means New York City). To receive the exemption, eligible military members and their families must apply through the New York E-ZPass customer service center, which will determine the specific application requirements. The bill is designed to provide financial relief for military personnel and their families serving at these specific military bases in New York City.
