Purpose and Intent: The primary goals of HB 4809 are to improve the maintenance and safety of the state's highway infrastructure, particularly its bridges, and to establish a tolling enforcement program to generate revenue for these efforts.
Key Provisions:
- Amends the state's vehicle code to authorize the establishment of a tolling enforcement program for bridges and highways.

- Provides the department with the authority to issue citations and impose fines for non-payment of tolls.
- Requires the department to develop and implement regulations to ensure the fair and effective operation of the tolling enforcement program.
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily affect drivers who use the state's bridges and highways, as they would be subject to the new tolling enforcement program. The revenue generated from the tolls would be used to fund the maintenance and improvement of the state's highway infrastructure, which could have a positive impact on public safety and transportation efficiency.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: HB 4809 has been reported with a recommendation for referral to the Committee on Rules with a substitute (H-1). The bill's next steps will depend on the actions taken by the committee and the broader legislative process.
