KLTV looks at a host of new bills being pre-filed in Texas and reports that State Senator Bob Hall (R-Edgewood) “proposes a change to the transportation code typically used by tolling authorities that allows a county tax assessor-collector to deny registration to a person who has not paid fines. . . . Hall’s bill would say a tax assessor-collector may not refuse to register a vehicle because of the unpaid civil penalties.” The report adds, “Northeast Texas Regional Mobility Authority recently approved a program to block registration for people who have repeatedly not paid tolls on Toll 49.”
