AI Summary

This bill prohibits the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) from establishing tolls on Interstate 5 and Interstate 205, with a specific exception for the Interstate 5 bridge replacement project that crosses the Columbia River between Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington. The legislation repeals previous requirements for assessing tolls on these highways and makes several related amendments to Oregon Revised Statutes. Specifically, the bill removes language related to implementing a toll program and updates various sections of state law to reflect the prohibition on tolling these specific interstate highways. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, and is designed to prevent the implementation of proposed tolling plans for I-5 and I-205. The legislation aims to protect drivers from potential new tolls on these major interstate highways, while still allowing for tolling as part of the specific Interstate 5 bridge replacement project.
