The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey would be required to change the way it raises tolls and deals with corruption and conflicts of interest under a bill being pushed by lawmakers in both states.

A news conference had been scheduled today to announce the plan, said New York Assemblyman Jim Brennan, a Brooklyn Democrat. It was canceled at the last minute because the bill wasn’t ready, according to Senator Bob Gordon and Assemblywoman Valerie Vainieri Huttle, both New Jersey Democrats.
