HB 2230 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Highways, Roads and Bridges - As introduced, expands the authority for the department to set tolls to existing transportation facilities that are part of the state highway system or interstate and national defense highway system, located at the border of this state with another state, and where, on or after July 1, 2026, one or more new vehicle travel lanes are added to the facility or an HOV lane on the facility is converted to a high occupancy user fee lane. - Amends TCA Title 12; Title 54 and Title 55.

HB 2230 allows Tennessee to impose tolls on existing border highways (where Tennessee meets another state) that add new travel lanes or convert HOV lanes to toll lanes after July 1, 2026. It amends state law to explicitly include "toll" as a permissible fee type for these specific border facilities within the state highway or interstate system. The bill directly affects drivers using these upgraded border crossings and the state transportation department, which gains expanded authority to collect tolls on those designated facilities. The policy change takes effect on July 1, 2026, and applies only to facilities meeting the specified lane modification criteria.
