AN ACT RELATING TO HIGHWAYS -- RHODE ISLAND TURNPIKE AND BRIDGE AUTHORITY
Effective without Governor's signature
Summary
The law creates a step‑by‑step penalty schedule for anyone who fails to pay a toll on a Rhode Island turnpike or bridge, adding administrative fees and possible license suspension. It also allows the DMV to refuse license or registration renewal until all tolls, fees and fines are paid or a repayment plan is in place, with special rules for rental cars. The goal is to ensure toll revenue is collected fairly and to discourage toll evasion.
