An Act to Exempt Authorized Emergency Vehicles from Tolls When...

This bill, LD164, proposes to exempt authorized emergency vehicles from tolls when they are operating in an official capacity. This means that emergency services, such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars, would not have to pay tolls while responding to emergencies or other urgent situations. This could help these vehicles reach their destinations faster, potentially saving lives and reducing the impact of emergencies.

The bill would primarily affect emergency service providers and toll authorities by reducing the cost burden on emergency vehicles and ensuring they can operate without unnecessary delays. It would also benefit the public by potentially improving the speed and efficiency of emergency responses.

The bill was introduced on January 14, 2025, and underwent several stages in the legislative process. However, on April 17, 2025, it was placed in legislative files and marked as dead, meaning it did not progress further. Key actions include being referred to the Transportation Committee and undergoing a work session and vote on April 10, 2025.
