Tolls would stop during a declared disaster in the affected area
What it does
The bill would pause toll collection while a state of disaster is in effect. A toll project entity could not collect a toll for use of a toll project located in the area named in the executive order or proclamation that declared the disaster. The pause would last for as long as the declaration stays in effect. The bill would take effect September 1, 2027.
What it means for your community
If a disaster is declared for your area, you would not have to pay tolls for toll projects inside that area while the declaration is in effect. That applies to every driver, including delivery trucks and other business vehicles, so companies moving through the area keep that money in their pocket too. For cities and counties in the disaster zone, the relief comes with the state declaration rather than a decision made locally, so the pause arrives with the disaster order. If the Legislature passes the bill, the change would take effect September 1, 2027.
