STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Seventeen
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 New Sections; Turnpike System; All Electronic Tolling; Anonymous Transponder Option. Amend RSA 237 by inserting after section 50 the following new sections:
237:51 All Electronic Tolling. The department shall study the financial feasibility of installing and implementing all electronic tolling for toll collection purposes at all existing or future tolling locations. If such study demonstrates that all electronic tolling is financially feasible, the commissioner shall make a recommendation to the governor and the general court as to which locations, in priority order, should be converted to all electronic tolling.
237:52 Anonymous Transponder Option. In conjunction with the installation and implementation of all electronic tolling under RSA 237:51, the department shall make available an optional system of anonymous transponders, allowing customers to anonymously fund and use a transponder, provided the transponder is properly funded and mounted prior to use. The transponders shall be available at public locations that allow the purchaser to remain anonymous. The department shall retain the least amount of information necessary for auditing purposes on the anonymous transponder transactions.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
