HB0582: Maryland Transportation Authority – Options for the Payment of Tolls and Civil Penalties; sponsored by Delegate Kevin Hornberger and 18 others
- Gives drivers a range of payment options including cash and payment apps, requires MDTA to recall certain debts from CCU, waive penalties, and offer installment plans under certain circumstances.
- MDTA said restoring cash collection would cost an estimated $335 million dollars. “In addition, due to the large number of electronic funds transfer apps and the large growth of the variety of such apps it would be difficult to implement the digital wallet provision of the bill to cover all available electronic fund transfer apps “to the greatest extent feasible,” MDTA wrote in a letter to lawmakers.
