What's happening
This bill lets the MTA suspend vehicle registrations for unpaid tolls or fines exceeding $100.
Why it matters
MTA debts only. The authority would gain registration enforcement power over vehicle owners owing it more than $100 in toll charges, fines or both.
Payment conditions. A registration hold or suspension could remain until the entire balance is paid or covered by an MTA-authorized payment plan.
New enforcement power. The bill would authorize the MTA itself to impose registration holds or suspensions, taking effect 30 days after becoming law.
