Relating to toll collection and enforcement by toll project entities; authorizing an administrative fee; imposing a civil penalty.

SB 137 establishes new rules for toll billing and enforcement on Texas toll roads. It requires toll project entities (like toll road operators) to bill the registered vehicle owner for unpaid tolls using video billing or similar technology, sending an invoice to the owner's address on file with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. The bill mandates payment within 30 days of the invoice date and authorizes toll entities to charge an administrative fee and impose a civil penalty for non-payment. This directly affects vehicle owners who use toll roads without paying at the time of use and toll operators managing toll collection.
