135 IAC 2.5-4-2 Fees, charges, and fines related to electronic tolling system

Sec. 2. (a) After carrying out the electronic tolling system, the authority may: (1) establish, collect, and enforce reasonable administration fees and reasonable fees to begin or appeal any dispute proceedings; (2) establish reasonable interest rates to be charged on unpaid tolls and fees, and collect interest charged as those rates; (3) establish reasonable terms and conditions, including reasonable fees, for the registration and distribution of toll devices; and (4) require reasonable security for providing toll devices. The revenues to be derived from the items in subdivisions (1) through (4) are considered to be toll revenues. The sole purpose of any fees or charges carried out under this section is to enable the concessionaire to recover its reasonable, out-of-pocket, and documented costs and expenses directly incurred for the items listed in subdivisions (1) through (4). The amount of those fees or charges may not exceed the amount reasonably necessary for the concessionaire to recover its reasonable, out-of-pocket, and documented costs and expenses directly incurred for the items listed in subdivisions (1) through (4). (b) After carrying out the electronic tolling system, the state shall assess fines against persons who run toll gates, and the concessionaire is entitled to fifty percent (50%) of those fines.
