Sec. 228.059. TOLL COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT BY OTHER ENTITY; OFFENSE

An entity operating a toll lane pursuant to Section 228.007(b) has, with regard to toll collection and enforcement for that toll lane, the same powers and duties as the department under this chapter. A person who fails to pay a toll or administrative fee imposed by the entity commits an offense. Each failure to pay a toll or administrative fee imposed by the entity is a separate offense. An offense under this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $250, and the provisions of Section 228.056 apply to the prosecution of the offense under this section. The entity may use revenues for improvement, extension, expansion, or maintenance of the toll lane.
