What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, an operator of a vehicle may not exceed a fixed or posted

speed limit. Depending on where the offense takes place, an operator of a motor

vehicle who exceeds a fixed or posted speed limit may be required to forfeit a

minimum of $30, $40, or $50, and a maximum of $300 for a first offense. A person

who commits a second or subsequent offense for operating a motor vehicle in excess

of a fixed or posted speed limit within one year in certain school or pedestrian zones

may be required to forfeit not less than $80, nor more than $600.

This bill doubles the applicable forfeitures for an operator of a motor vehicle

who exceeds a fixed or posted speed limit by ten or more miles per hour in a first class

city.
