Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law and chapter 47 of the laws of relating to declaring the policy of the states of New York and New Jersey in regard to certain vehicular bridges and tunnels within the port of New York district, in relation to requiring certain public authorities to establish a cashless tolling amnesty program; and providing for the repeal of certain provisions upon expiration thereof
AI Summary
This bill requires certain public authorities (including those related to highways, bridges, and tunnels) to establish a cashless tolling amnesty program between August 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, for unpaid tolls collected electronically (without cash) between April 23, 2016, and June 29, 2025. The amnesty program allows individuals, businesses, or other entities who owe cashless toll fees to pay the full amount of their tolls during the specified period and have all associated violation fees and penalties waived. Each affected authority (including the Port Authority and various state transportation authorities) is required to prominently display information about this amnesty program on their website. The bill applies to multiple jurisdictions and authorities, providing a uniform approach to addressing historical unpaid electronic tolls. The legislation will automatically expire on January 1, 2026, but any rights or remedies granted before expiration will remain valid. Notably, the bill's full implementation depends on comparable legislation being enacted in New Jersey, ensuring a coordinated approach between the two states.
