N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2855: Electronic method of payment; periodic charges

§ 2855. Electronic method of payment; periodic charges.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law to the contrary, if any

authority shall offer any electronic method of payment for tolls, fares,

fees, rentals, or other charges, including but not limited to a system

called E-ZPass, such authority shall not impose any periodic

administrative or other charge for the privilege of using such

electronic method of payment for such charges. Nothing in this section

shall be construed to prohibit any authority from making any charge for

extra services requested by a holder of such electronic method of

payment, any charge for lost or damaged equipment, or for defaults, such

as charges for dishonored checks. The authority shall not enter any

agreement with bondholders that would require the imposition of

administrative or other periodic charges relating to electronic methods

of payment prohibited by this section.
