Gov. Kathy Hochul has vetoed a bill that would have capped late fees for unpaid tolls at New York City area bridges and tunnels, arguing it would essentially reward scofflaws for bad behavior.

The bill dates back at least four years and was inspired by driver complaints that followed the rollout of cashless tolling on bridges and tunnels in the metropolitan area. Instead of paying an attendant at a toll booth, drivers are now billed via mail or E-ZPass. And the legislation would have capped late fees after 60 days of nonpayment at $25 or twice the amount of the overdue toll, whichever is greater. In most cases, that would be a reduction from the $50 to $100 fees issued for unpaid tolls.
“Regardless of the length of time, granting amnesty for non-payment of legitimate tolls and charges is bad precedent and may increase the delinquency rate if drivers believe their liabilities may eventually be cleared,”The bill was sponsored by Sen. Leroy Comrie of Queens and Assemblymember Tom Abinanti of Westchester County, both of whom are Democrats.
