SB 210 Maryland Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Maryland Transportation Authority - Tolls, Fees, and Other Charges - Temporary Adjustments

This bill extends the maximum time the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) can maintain emergency toll adjustments without full public review. It modifies Section 4-312(a) of Maryland law to increase the duration allowed for emergency status determinations, enabling the MDTA to implement temporary toll, fee, or charge changes more quickly during urgent situations. The change specifically affects the MDTA's ability to bypass standard public comment periods for emergency adjustments related to bond agreements or operational continuity. It does not alter actual toll amounts or create new fees - only the timeframe for emergency adjustments under existing law.
