During a committee hearing on a bill impacting toll payments and penalties, several lawmakers shared their recent experiences with Maryland E-ZPass.
Senator Cory McCray (D-Baltimore City), the sponsor of Senate Bill 59, introduced the legislation after he received several toll notices in the mail.
“When I got my E-ZPass bill, there were five charges back-to-back-to-back, so my immediate thought was did somebody steal my credit card when I see five charges?” McCray told WMAR-2 News mallorybrookes
He added that he was charged late fee penalties even though he received the toll notices after the due date.
“I’ve never ever, ever, ever seen a business that’s able to mark up a 1,000+ percent late fee. So, remember if you’re late for $2 they can charge you $25,” McCray told the Budget and Taxation Committee Tuesday afternoon.
Senate Bill 59 proposes waiving penalties for tolls where the Maryland Transportation Authority is responsible for the delay in timely processing.
