 Introduced by M. of A. JACOBSON -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions

 AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to enabling
 public authorities to transmit electronic notifications to E-ZPass
 customers

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 2855 of the public authorities law, as added by
 2 section 1 of part KK of chapter 59 of the laws of 2006, is amended to
 3 read as follows:
 4 § 2855. Electronic method of payment[; periodic charges]. 1. Notwith-
 5 standing the provisions of any law to the contrary, if any authority
 6 shall offer any electronic method of payment for tolls, fares, fees,
 7 rentals, or other charges, including but not limited to a system called
 8 E-ZPass, such authority shall not impose any periodic administrative or
 9 other charge for the privilege of using such electronic method of
 10 payment for such charges. Nothing in this section shall be construed to
 11 prohibit any authority from making any charge for extra services
 12 requested by a holder of such electronic method of payment, any charge
 13 for lost or damaged equipment, or for defaults, such as charges for
 14 dishonored checks. The authority shall not enter any agreement with
 15 bondholders that would require the imposition of administrative or other
 16 periodic charges relating to electronic methods of payment prohibited by
 17 this section.
 18 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, if any
 19 authority shall offer such electronic method of payment for tolls,
 20 fares, fees, rentals, or other charges, including but not limited to a
 21 system called E-ZPass, such authority shall transmit electronic notifi-
 22 cation pursuant to the provisions of this section to a customer that
 23 passes through a toll plaza operated by the authority, provided that the
 24 customer has an account for the electronic toll collection system that

 2 successor entity and voluntarily opts in for such notification. Such
 3 notification shall alert the customer that the electronic toll
 4 collection system has registered the customer's account and may be
 5 provided by electronic mail, a text message sent directly to a custom-
 6 er's mobile device, or through a mobile application. Notification shall
 7 be made within twenty-four hours of the transaction posting to the
 8 customer's account, or as soon as practicable if no valid account is
 9 recognized at the time of the transaction. A customer may opt out of
 10 receiving the notification that is provided pursuant to the provisions
 11 of this section at any time and may be required to confirm participation
 12 in the notification program.
 13 § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
 14 have become a law.
