Bill > HB731

This bill expands free toll facility access to certain disabled veterans by amending existing law to allow drivers rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as having a 100 percent service-connected, permanent, and total disability to use all toll bridges, toll roads, and other toll facilities in the Commonwealth without charge. Previously, this exemption was primarily for vehicles specially equipped for individuals with severe physical disabilities and permanent upper limb impairments, or those with a specific VA certification. The bill also updates the method of identification for eligible individuals, replacing the current window sticker with a specialized electronic toll collection device, which will be mounted in the vehicle to signify eligibility for free passage.
