§ 27:25A-21 — 8 South Jersey Transportation Authority, notice of violation, administrative fee, before determining association, vehicle, existing electronic toll collection system account, prohibited.

4. Notwithstanding any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the South Jersey Transportation Authority shall not issue a notice of violation or charge any administrative fees to the owner of a vehicle that travels through a lane at a toll plaza or facility dedicated for the electronic toll collection system unless the authority has first determined that the vehicle is not associated with an existing electronic toll collection system account. If the vehicle is associated with an existing electronic toll collection system account, the authority shall relay the license plate information to the lead agency of the electronic toll collection system for toll payment from the appropriate electronic toll collection system account holder, provided that the account holder shall have the right to dispute any such toll charge. An electronic toll collection system account holder shall provide accurate and updated information for the electronic toll collection system account, including updating the license plate numbers associated with the account. If an account holder fails to update the license plate numbers associated with the account, the electronic toll collection system may issue a notice of violation to the account holder for any violation committed and may charge an administrative fee for the violation. The authority shall conduct outreach to encourage account holders to comply with the provisions of this section by maintaining accurate and updated information for electronic toll collection system accounts.
