The bill amends Title 74 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding electronic toll collection, specifically addressing the liability of vehicle owners for unpaid tolls. It modifies Section 8117(b)(3) to extend the time frame for lessors of vehicles to provide the necessary documentation to the commission from 30 days to 60 days after receiving an invoice for toll charges. This documentation must include a copy of the rental, lease, or contract, along with the lessee's name and address.
If the lessor fails to submit this information within the new 60-day period, they will be held liable for the tolls and fees indicated in the invoice. Conversely, if the lessor complies with the requirements, the lessee will be considered the owner of the vehicle for the purpose of liability for the tolls. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
