Introduced by: Steve E. Heretick | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Nonpayment of electronic tolls; civil actions. Provides that no action to recover an unpaid electronic toll shall be brought until at least 120 days have elapsed from the date of the violation. Any such action shall only be brought in the locality in which the vehicle is registered, if registered in the Commonwealth, or in the locality in which the violation occurred, if the vehicle is registered outside the Commonwealth. No judgment resulting from such action shall exceed five times the amount of the unpaid toll, including administrative fees and penalties. The bill provides for a one-year statute of limitations for all toll violations. The bill requires toll facilities that do not offer manual toll collection to accept cash at a physical location or by electronic funds transfer within 72 hours of the unpaid toll. The bill requires such toll operator to display signage notifying drivers of alternative routes that are not tolled and that payment in cash may be accepted within 72 hours of the unpaid toll.
