Maryland Transportation Authority - Replacement for the Francis Scott Key Bridge - Suspension of Tolls

HB 1203 prohibits the Maryland Transportation Authority from charging tolls on the new bridge replacing the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge for the first five years after it opens to passenger traffic. The bill directly affects drivers using this specific bridge and alters the state's toll policy for this infrastructure project. It achieves this by amending Maryland law to explicitly ban tolls on the new Patapsco River bridge during its initial five-year operation, ensuring no toll charges apply during that period.
