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.
