HB 814 Original 2022 Regular Session Farnum
Abstract: Prohibits the Department of Transportation and Development from exercising powers
relative to tolling on existing interstate systems.
Present law authorizes a private entity to develop or operate the qualifying transportation facility,
impose user fees, and enter into service contracts in connection with the use of the transportation
facility.
Present law prohibits tolls or user fees from being imposed by the private entity on any existing free
road or system of roads, bridge, tunnel, or overpass. Authorizes tolls or user fees on any existing free
road or system of roads, bridge, tunnel, or overpass that is improved or expanded.
Proposed law modifies present law by removing the exception that authorizes tolls or user fees on
any existing free road or system of roads, bridge, tunnel, or overpass that is improved or expanded.
