The bill amends and reenacts specific sections of Louisiana law regarding toll fees associated with the Tomey J. Doucet Bridge, also known as the Leeville Bridge. It introduces a new definition for "recreational vessel," clarifying that it refers to vessels primarily used for pleasure and excludes those engaged in commercial use or carrying paying passengers. Additionally, the bill updates the definitions of "registered owner," "toll," "toll tag," and "valid toll-tag account," ensuring that they align with current practices and regulations.

Furthermore, the bill enacts a new section, R.S. 47:820.5.4.1, which establishes that any vehicle towing a recreational vessel that exceeds Class 1 specifications will be subject to the Class 2 toll rate. This change aims to provide clarity on toll payments for vehicles towing larger recreational vessels, ensuring proper classification within the toll schedule.
