Relates to public notice and hearing prior to the imposition of new fees or surcharges by the New York state thruway authority

This bill requires the New York State Thruway Authority to hold public hearings and provide advance notice before implementing new fees, surcharges, or significant changes to existing charges. The law mandates that the authority publish details about proposed costs, notify affected customers, allow at least thirty days for public comments, and conduct a public hearing where the reasoning behind the charges is explained. If the authority fails to follow these steps, any new fees or surcharges adopted in violation of the bill will be considered invalid and unenforceable. These requirements apply to all administrative fees, service charges, and toll-related assessments imposed on drivers and toll account holders.
