Bill > HB1734

This bill amends Pennsylvania's electronic toll collection law by extending the time period for vehicle lessors to respond to toll invoices from 30 to 60 days. Under the current law, when a toll invoice is issued for a leased vehicle, the lessor can avoid liability for unpaid tolls by providing the commission with a copy of the rental or lease contract, including the lessee's name and address, within the specified timeframe. If the lessor fails to send this information within the time limit, they become responsible for paying the tolls and associated fees. By increasing the response window from 30 to 60 days, the bill provides vehicle lessors with more time to submit documentation and transfer liability to the actual vehicle lessee. This change aims to give lessors additional flexibility in managing toll-related paperwork and ensuring that the correct party is held responsible for unpaid tolls.
