ROSEDALE, Md. — A Maryland bill that could have helped drivers reduce massive toll debts died in committee before reaching the governor’s desk, leaving thousands of drivers with no clear path to relief.
Senate Bill 956/HB1283 passed the Senate but stalled in the House Environment and Transportation Committee. The subcommittee chair said the committee ran out of time to fully evaluate the bill and bring it to a vote.
Drivers say years of penalties and fees have turned what started as small balances into debts reaching tens of thousands, and in some cases, six figures.
Erynn Colvin is one of them.
“So currently, I owe $48,521,” Colvin said.
