Toll violators will get a second chance to pay what they owe under a law signed Tuesday by Gov. Chris Gregoire.
Lawmakers created a grace period for fines on the Tacoma Narrows bridge and future toll roads. Drivers will have 80 days after bypassing a tollbooth to pay the $4 toll and an administrative fee before the fine kicks in to bump the cost to $52.
The change is part of a bill passed during the regular legislative session to allow toll projects to keep the money from fines. The law will take effect in January.
