Exempts military members based at Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, New York and Fort Wadsworth, Staten Island, New York on active duty who reside in NYC from the payment of E-ZPass tolls associated with the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

This bill proposes to exempt active-duty military members who live in New York City and are stationed at Fort Hamilton or Fort Wadsworth from paying E-ZPass tolls on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. The aim is to provide financial relief to service members commuting in the area. It is currently in the introduction stage in the New York State Legislature.

Supporters of the bill would likely emphasize the importance of supporting military personnel and recognizing their sacrifices. They may argue that exempting these service members from tolls is a small but meaningful way to show appreciation for their service and to ease their financial burdens while they serve the country.

Critics may argue that the bill could set a precedent for toll exemptions that might lead to revenue loss for the state. They could also contend that while supporting military members is important, such exemptions should be evaluated carefully to ensure fairness and equity among all commuters.
