This bill prohibits the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and the South Jersey Transportation Authority, as well as any entities contracted by the lead agency of the New Jersey E-ZPass Group, from charging service fees to account holders of the E-ZPass electronic toll collection system. A service fee is defined as an additional charge on the monthly billing statement that is primarily for enrollment in the electronic toll collection system, rather than for actual usage of the system.
The bill aims to protect E-ZPass account holders from incurring extra costs associated with their accounts, ensuring that they are not charged for simply being enrolled in the system. The legislation is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
