Bill > SB88

This bill amends Delaware's traffic code to modify rules regarding toll violations, specifically extending the deadline for resolving unpaid tolls. Currently, vehicle owners have 30 days to address a toll violation before being subject to liability, but the bill changes this to 60 days after the violation is transmitted. The bill also modifies the language around administrative fees, allowing transportation authorities (such as the Department of Transportation or Delaware River & Bay Authority) to charge an administrative fee of up to $25 instead of a fixed amount. When a toll violation occurs, the relevant transportation authority will send an advisory notice to the vehicle owner's registered address, providing details about the violation and an opportunity to resolve the matter before legal action. This change is intended to improve customer service by giving vehicle owners more time to address and pay toll violations, potentially reducing the immediate financial and legal consequences of an unpaid toll.
