AN ACT

Concerning tolls on certain bridges operated by the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission.

The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania hereby enacts as follows:

Section 1. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, with regard to any existing bridge within the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission's jurisdiction and control on which tolls were not charged or collected in 1984 and which was financed in part with Federal funds, the commission may, in the same manner and to the same extent that it can do so for all toll bridges under its jurisdiction and control, fix, charge and collect fees, rentals, tolls or any other charges on such existing bridge only if authorized to do so by substantially similar laws enacted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey.

Section 2. This act shall take effect upon the enactment into law by the State of New Jersey of legislation having an identical effect with the provisions of this act, but, if the State of New Jersey shall have already enacted such legislation, then this act shall take effect immediately.
