More detail
Agencies could not suspend, revoke, or deny a driver's license or vehicle registration over unpaid tolls or related fees.

Toll agencies could still collect unpaid tolls, fees, and costs through courts or debt collectors. These changes would take effect immediately if the bill becomes law.
