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, according to the
latest federal decennial census, 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, according
to the latest federal decennial census, 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
