HB 4015: Require Acceptance of Cash Payments for Tolls

Overview

Bill Number: HB 4015
Title: Highways: other; acceptance of cash payments for tolls; require. Creates new act.
Status: Bill electronically reproduced 01/14/2025
Introduced: March 07, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The primary purpose of HB 4015 is to mandate that all toll road operators in the state accept cash payments from drivers, in addition to electronic payment methods. The bill aims to ensure equitable access to toll roads for all residents, including those who may not have access to credit/debit cards or electronic payment accounts.

Key Provisions

  • Requires all toll road operators to accept cash payments from drivers in addition to electronic payment methods (e.g. credit/debit cards, mobile apps, transponders)
  • Prohibits toll road operators from charging any additional fees or surcharges for cash payments
  • Mandates clear signage at all toll plazas and access points informing drivers of the cash payment option
  • Directs the state Department of Transportation to establish guidelines and standards for cash payment acceptance

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Drivers using toll roads in the state will benefit from the ability to pay with cash, improving accessibility
  • Toll road operators will be required to invest in additional cash handling infrastructure and procedures
  • Lower-income residents without access to electronic payment methods will have greater mobility options

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

HB 4015 was introduced in the state legislature on March 7, 2025 and is currently in the committee review process. If passed, the bill would take effect 90 days after the end of the legislative session, requiring all toll road operators to begin accepting cash payments within 6 months of the effective date.
