Statute overview

About this statute

This law establishes an environmental surcharge on tolls for roads near or within protected environmental areas. The article creates an environmental surcharge and limits the National Government’s ability to order its collection to specific roads only. This article defines several protected-area and road-location terms, and requires environmental authorities to define buffer zones under rules set by the Ministry. La sobretasa ambiental se cobra por el tránsito de vehículos sujetos a peaje en ciertos tramos de vías nacionales que afecten áreas protegidas, y la recauda la entidad encargada del peaje. The environmental surcharge applies to certain environmental authorities, and collected funds must be used only for the law’s stated purposes and kept in a separate account.
