BILL · 2021–22 SESSION · LATEST VERSION SHB 1301

HB 1301: RTA fare enforcement options

Providing expanded options for fare enforcement by regional transit authorities.

Summary

Allows a regional transit authority to establish an alternative fare enforcement system, which allows for the issuance of notices of violation, the resolution of notices of violation, and the resolution of appeals.
Limits the fines associated with notices of violation to the same maximum amount allowed for civil infractions, but notices of violation may be subject to nonmonetary sanctions instead of fines.
