Rhode Island bill exempts car rental companies from registration penalties for out-of-state toll violations by rental vehicle operators.

Rhode Island H7574 amends the state's vehicle registration laws to exempt car rental companies from penalties related to out-of-state toll violations by operators using their rental vehicles. The bill holds rental companies responsible for any outstanding toll amounts due. The Rhode Island turnpike and bridge authority conducts an independent review of toll violations to ensure they are properly imposed against the actual registered owner.
