Title: Toll Roads and Bridges, notice to pay a toll, further provided, failure to pay toll citation, further provided, non-renewal of vehicle registration, provided, authority to enter in reciprocal agreements, further provided, Secs. 23-2-167, 23-2-168, 23-2-169, 23-2-172, 23-2-173, 23-2-175 am'd.
Description: Existing law authorizes the Alabama Toll Road, Bridge and Tunnel Authority, the Department of Transportation, and private toll entities to collect a toll fee by using a system capable of charging an account holder the required toll fee by transmission of information from an electronic toll collection device on a motor vehicle. Existing law also authorizes the authority, department, and private toll entities to issue to the owner or operator of a vehicle a notice to pay toll when the vehicle passes through a toll collection point without payment of the required toll and no account is available to which a charge may be applied.
This bill would further provide for the process of issuing notice to pay a toll and would authorize the non-renewal of the vehicle registration for vehicles whose owners fail to pay the required toll and administrative fees associated with the collection of the toll. The bill would also establish a procedure for the appeal of a vehicle registration hold.
Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to enter into reciprocal agreements with other states and jurisdictions regarding the enforcement of toll enforcement.
This bill would authorize the Department of Transportation and the Alabama Toll Road, Bridge and Tunnel Authority to enter into those reciprocal agreements and would also authorize the agreements to include vehicle registration non-renewal provisions.
Subjects: Toll Roads and Bridges
