Bill > A07259

This bill grants the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) the power to suspend a vehicle's registration if the vehicle's owner owes more than $100 in unpaid toll charges or fines. Specifically, the bill adds a new section to the vehicle and traffic law that allows the MTA to put a hold on or suspend a vehicle's registration until the outstanding charges are either paid in full or the owner enters into an authorized payment plan. This provides the MTA with an additional enforcement mechanism to collect unpaid tolls and fines, potentially incentivizing drivers to promptly pay their transportation-related fees. The bill would take effect 30 days after becoming law, giving vehicle owners and the MTA time to prepare for and implement the new registration suspension process.
