Section 127.14 - Non-payment of tolls

(a) This section applies to hearings related to the failure to pay tolls, fees, or other charges or the failure to have such tolls, fees or other charges dismissed or transferred in response to three (3) or more notices of violation or other process issued within a five (5) year period charging the registrant of a motor vehicle with a violation of toll collection regulations, or to the failure of the registrant of a commercial motor vehicle to pay tolls, fees or other charges in the amount of $200 or more, where all such tolls, fees or other charges are accumulated within a five year period.

(b) Upon receipt from a tolling authority, in such form and manner as the Commissioner shall prescribe, that :

(i) the registrant of a motor vehi- cle has failed to pay tolls, fees, or other charges or failed to have such tolls, fees or other charges dismissed or transferred in response to three (3) or more notices of violation or other process issued within a five (5) year period, arising out of violations resulting from toll transactions not occurring on the same day, or

(ii) that the registrant of a commercial motor vehicle has failed to pay tolls, fees or other charges in the amount of $200 or more, where all such tolls, fees or other charges are accumulated within a five year period, the Commis- sioner shall issue a proposed suspension of such person's registration. Such person shall be advised of the right to request a hearing before an administrative law judge, prior to such proposed suspension taking effect.

(c) If such person makes a timely request for a hearing, such suspension shall be held in abeyance pending such hearing. Failure to provide a timely response to such notice shall be deemed a waiver of such hearing, and the proposed suspension shall take effect at the time set forth in such notice. Such notice shall advise the registrant of the penalties enforceable under the law for driving without a valid registration.

(d) Any suspension issued pursuant to this section shall remain in effect until the tolling authority advises, in such form and manner that the Commissioner shall prescribe, that such person has responded to such notices of violation and has paid any unpaid tolls, fees, or other charges to the tolling authority.

(e) For the purposes of this section, "tolling authority" shall mean every public authority which operates a toll highway, bridge and/or tunnel facility as well as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, a bi-state agency as created by compact set forth Chapter 154 of the Laws of 1921.

(f) For the purposes of this section, the term commercial motor vehicle shall mean a motor vehicle registered pursuant to Vehicle and Traffic Law sections 401(7)(A), 401(7)(B), 401(7)(F), 401(8) and 405.
