After a late-night voting session on Wednesday, Sept. 7, both toll amendments to the appropriations bill, HR3354 or the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act, were approved. The amendments prohibit funding for establishing and collecting tolls in Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington.

After a 5-minute debate on the floor, Amendment No. 49 offered by Reps. Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., and Mike Kelly, R-Pa., was agreed to by voice vote at 9:09 p.m. on Wednesday. Using only half of the allotted 10 minutes for debate, the passed amendment will prohibit any funding in the bill from being used for establishing or collecting tolls on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania.
