STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY SUBSTITUTE FOR

ASSEMBLY, No. 1636

with Assembly Floor Amendments

(Proposed By Assemblyman DeCROCE)

ADOPTED: MARCH 13, 1997

      These amendments provide that a violation of the toll collection monitoring system regulations is to be evidenced by the toll collection monitoring system, not by visual identification or other method of identification of vehicles. The amendments would require that the monitoring system shall be designed so that it does not produce a recorded image of the face of the operator or any passenger of a motor vehicle. The amendments also address the time for payment of the administrative fee, the date on which the violation is subject to liability, the discretion of the court to impose the administrative fee, and the distribution of the toll, fee and penalties by the court. Finally, the amendments provide that an operator may not be charged for the same incident with a violation of both the current toll collection regulations and the toll collection monitoring system regulations provided for in the bill.
