What changed in the latest version

576 added · 722 removed

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 1964 includes new provisions that allow the Authority to impose civil fines on vehicles using toll highways without paying the required toll. This change allows them to use video or photo evidence for enforcement, which aims to enhance compliance and generate revenue for maintenance of toll roads. Additionally, the previous provision for appointing an Inspector General, intended to oversee fraud and mismanagement, has been removed, potentially reducing oversight in those areas. This matters as it shifts the focus towards enforcement of toll payments while decreasing accountability measures within the Authority.
