Bill > HB4809

This bill establishes a tolling enforcement program that allows international toll bridge or tunnel operators to work with the Michigan Secretary of State to collect unpaid tolls. Under the program, if an individual fails to pay 6 tolls over 90 days, the operator can notify the Secretary of State, who will then refuse to issue or transfer vehicle registration for that individual. The bill outlines detailed requirements for the tolling enforcement agreements, including provisions for determining vehicle ownership, sending notices of unpaid tolls, establishing a dispute resolution process, and sharing data securely. The bill also creates a mechanism for reciprocity agreements with other states or tolling entities, allowing for cross-jurisdictional enforcement of toll collection. Importantly, the bill includes protections for vehicle owners, such as allowing them to submit an affidavit identifying the actual driver if they were not responsible for the unpaid tolls. The legislation aims to provide a structured approach to collecting unpaid tolls while ensuring due process and fair treatment of vehicle owners.
