Bill summary

Enacts new GS 136-89.220 allowing the Turnpike Authority (Authority) to enter into agreements with other tolling jurisdictions, to enforce toll violations. Requires that the agreement provide that when another agency certifies that the owner of a vehicle registered in North Carolina has failed to pay a toll, fee, or penalty, then the toll, fee, or penalty may be enforced by the Authority placing a renewal block. Requires the following in order for the agreement to be enforceable: (1) the other agency has its own reciprocal procedure for violation enforcement and does reciprocate by withholding registration renewal for vehicle owners in that state, (2) the other agency provides due process and appeal for vehicle owners in North Carolina, (3) the owner of vehicles registered in North Carolina may present evidence to the other agency via mail instead of appearing personally, and (4) each party charges the other for their registration hold costs. Makes conforming changes.
