Overview
House Bill 4015 would require Michigan state infrastructure, including bridges, highways, and tunnels, to accept cash payments for tolls. The bill clarifies that toll operators must accept cash as a valid payment method, regardless of whether alternative payment options like credit cards are available. This ensures that individuals without access to electronic payment systems can still pay tolls on state-owned roadways. The bill establishes the ‘Cash for Tolls Act’ to formalize this requirement.

- Requires state and local governments to accept cash payments for tolls.
- Prohibits toll operators from requiring alternative payment methods (e.g., credit cards).
- Defines ‘infrastructure’ as bridges, highways, and tunnels.
- Defines ‘public infrastructure’ as state-owned or operated roadways.
- Establishes the ‘Cash for Tolls Act’.
