MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 13, 2022 03:16 PM
From: Senator Lisa M. Boscola
To: All Senate members
Subject: Garnishing PA Lottery Winnings & State Tax Refund to Collect Unpaid
 
Soon I will reintroduce SB1350 of 2021 to once again target the ongoing issue of unpaid turnpike tolls, by garnishing lottery winnings and the State tax refunds of offenders with unpaid tolls.

From April 2021 to March 2022, the Turnpike reported a projected total of $155 million in unpaid tolls. That is up 49% from the previous year.

Unfortunately, the law-abiding turnpike users are being punished by this loss in toll revenue, with continued toll increases year after year, therefore it is imperative we step up enforcement and give the turnpike tools to go after these repeated offenders.

I encourage my colleagues to join me in support of this bill. Prior sponsors included: Senators Fontana, Tartaglione, Costa and Brewster.
 



Introduced as SB473
