§    2855.   Electronic   method   of   payment;   periodic   charges.  Notwithstanding the provisions of  any  law  to  the  contrary,  if  any  authority shall offer any electronic method of payment for tolls, fares,  fees,  rentals,  or other charges, including but not limited to a system  called  E-ZPass,  such  authority  shall   not   impose   any   periodic  administrative   or  other  charge  for  the  privilege  of  using  such  electronic method of payment for such charges. Nothing in  this  section  shall  be construed to prohibit any authority from making any charge for  extra services requested by  a  holder  of  such  electronic  method  of  payment, any charge for lost or damaged equipment, or for defaults, such  as  charges  for  dishonored  checks.  The authority shall not enter any  agreement  with  bondholders  that  would  require  the  imposition   of  administrative  or other periodic charges relating to electronic methods  of payment prohibited by this section.
