Bill Summary
This bill prohibits the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, the South Jersey Transportation Authority, or an entity contracted by the lead agency of the New Jersey E-ZPass Group to administer the State's electronic toll collection system (E-ZPass) from charging a service fee to an E-ZPass account holder. Under the bill, "service fee" means an additional amount added to the monthly billing statement of an electronic toll collection system account holder for the primary purpose of having enrolled in the State's electronic toll collection system and not for actual usage of the electronic toll collection system; and "lead agency of the New Jersey E-ZPass Group" means an agency, authority, or political subdivision of this State that has the authority to enter into, manage, or negotiate contracts to provide service to accounts with a New Jersey electronic toll collection system under current law.
