Bill > S1705

This bill, titled "Prohibiting tolls on the Massachusetts Turnpike," aims to eliminate tolls on Interstate Highway Route 90, commonly known as the Massachusetts Turnpike. It achieves this by amending Chapter 6C of the General Laws, specifically by removing subsection (18) which likely pertains to the authority to collect tolls on this route. Furthermore, it explicitly states that the Department of Transportation, the state agency responsible for transportation infrastructure, is prohibited from charging or collecting tolls for travel on Interstate Highway Route 90, regardless of any other existing laws. This legislation is intended to stop the practice of toll collection on this major highway.
