AI Summary

This bill prohibits the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA), a state agency responsible for operating toll roads, from passing on the costs associated with processing credit card payments or other electronic transactions to drivers who pay tolls or maintain accounts with the state's electronic toll collection system, commonly known as E-ZPass. Instead, the NJTA is required to cover these processing fees as part of its regular operating expenses, essentially absorbing the costs rather than directly charging them to consumers. This measure codifies an existing practice, meaning it formalizes something the NJTA has already been doing, ensuring it continues in the future.
