What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires that the minimum and maximum forfeitures and fines for

violations of certain state and local traffic laws be doubled under specified

circumstances. Among these, a speeding violation or a reckless driving violation

committed in a highway maintenance or construction area or in a utility work area

is subject to doubling of the forfeiture or fine.

This bill doubles the minimum and maximum forfeitures for certain speeding

violations and the minimum and maximum forfeitures or fines for reckless driving

violations committed where sanitation workers are at risk from traffic and the driver

knows or should know that sanitation workers are present.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to

result if the bill is enacted.
