7/2/03-A bill that would give the Pennsylvania and New Jersey governors authority to veto Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission actions within 10 days after receiving certified commission meeting minutes remains in the Senate State Government Committee.
Sen. Lisa Boscola, D-Bethelem, introduced SB527 in the Senate in March, but it has not yet moved past the committee level.
The commission, which maintains and operates seven toll bridges and 13 free bridges between New Jersey and Pennsylvania, exists under an interstate agreement that requires each state and Congress to adopt identical laws regulating its operation.
