HB 1465 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Transportation-Related Tolls - Installment Payment Plans

HB 1465 creates income-based installment payment plans for drivers who owe $250 or more in unpaid tolls and civil penalties. It requires the Maryland Transportation Authority to establish this program, allowing eligible individuals to pay gradually based on their income instead of paying the full amount upfront. The bill amends existing law to replace the previous 30-day payment deadline with this new payment option, which can prevent license suspension for non-payment. Drivers must qualify by meeting income requirements and applying through the new program.

MINOR

The bill was finalized as an enrolled act, converting it from a draft proposal into official law. The primary substantive change involves updating the financial threshold for accessing the income-based installment payment plan for unpaid video tolls from $250 to $300, aligning the eligibility requirement with the amount needed to trigger the Central Collection Unit's recall of delinquent accounts.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on transportation-related tolls and installment payment plans, but the applicability of the relief program is now restricted to individuals with higher accumulated debt.

ELIGIBILITY

The minimum unpaid video toll and civil penalty amount required to qualify for the income-based installment payment plan was increased from $250 to $300.

The conditions under which the Authority can recall a delinquent account from the Central Collection Unit were updated to include an 'OR' clause, allowing recall if mitigating factors exist OR if an installment plan is approved, clarifying the process for handling delinquent accounts.

TECHNICAL

The document was converted from a House Bill to an Enrolled Bill, adding formal proofreading signatures, the Great Seal presentation date, and chapter number placeholders to finalize the legislative process.
