Summary

The bill lets police, fire and ambulance vehicles avoid paying tolls on roads, bridges and high‑occupancy toll (HOT) lanes when they are responding to or returning from an emergency, as long as they are properly marked and, for HOT lanes, only while actively responding. It also requires toll operators and emergency agencies to certify the exemption in writing and lets toll facilities make agreements with local emergency services about toll use.
