Toll Evasion Prevention and Plate Visibility Act of 2026
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · March 4, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Toll Evasion Prevention and Plate Visibility Act of 2026 aims to combat toll evasion and fraud by prohibiting the sale of products designed to obscure license plates and banning the sale of fraudulent, counterfeit, or altered license plates. The bill tasks the Federal Trade Commission with enforcing these prohibitions as violations of unfair or deceptive trade practices, with penalties applying to sellers, brokers, and anyone facilitating such sales. Within 90 days of enactment, the Federal Highway Administration must publish advisory guidance on license plate readability standards to support digital imaging technology and establish a grant program to help states, local governments, law enforcement, and toll facility operators develop systems to identify repeat toll evaders and coordinate enforcement efforts. The legislation authorizes $10 million annually from 2027 through 2030 for the grant program, while explicitly preserving states' authority to enforce their own license plate regulations independently.
