Limits fines for the late payment or evasion of tolls charged by a public authority to twenty-five percent of the toll owed.

New York Assembly Bill A08859 amends the public authorities law to limit fines for the late payment or evasion of tolls charged by a public authority to twenty-five percent of the toll owed. This change applies to both first-time and repeat unpaid liabilities that could lead to a vehicle being towed or immobilized.
