Abstract:  Provides for toll exemptions for residents of a parish in which a public-private
partnership project is located.
Proposed law provides residents of a parish with a population less than 25,000 in which a public-
private partnership for a bridge replacement is entirely located within the parish to have free and
unhampered passage crossing the public-private partnership project bridge.
Proposed law exempts permanent residents of a parish with a population less than 25,000 in which
a public-private partnership for a bridge replacement is entirely located within the parish from the
payment of tolls when crossing the public-private partnership project bridge when the resident
purchases an exempt toll tag, presents a certificate of motor vehicle registration, and provides proof
of residency.
Proposed law requires the Dept. of Transportation and Development to adopt rules and regulations
for the efficient implementation and enforcement of the provisions of this proposed law.
