Summary of Bill A 2157

Overview

Bill A 2157 would require the relevant board to prepare and submit to the Legislature a formal recommendation on central business district (CBD) toll amounts, and to include a recommendation for a privacy risk plan. The measure is currently in the referral stage.

Purpose and intent

Establish a structured process for determining CBD toll levels by directing the board to provide a legislative recommendation on toll amounts.
Ensure toll-related data and operations include a privacy risk plan, addressing potential privacy concerns associated with tolling programs and data collection/retention.

Key provisions

Directs the board to submit to the Legislature a recommendation regarding CBD toll amounts. This would specify the board’s suggested toll levels and related structure for the CBD toll program (specifics not provided in the summary).
Requires a recommendation on a privacy risk plan, outlining measures to protect privacy in connection with the CBD toll program (e.g., data handling, security, and risk mitigation considerations).
The bill does not, in the provided summary, specify funding, implementation timelines, or enforcement mechanisms beyond the board’s duty to prepare and submit the recommendations.

Who would be affected

The board responsible for CBD toll decisions would have to develop and submit the recommendations.
The Legislature would receive guidance on toll levels and privacy protections, potentially guiding future policy and budget decisions.
Toll program administrators and entities handling toll data may be affected by any forthcoming changes to toll rates and privacy requirements (as informed by the board’s recommendations).
