| Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
| This legislation proposes to double the fines for a number of traffic violations and OUI offenses and dedicate half of the fine to a newly created School Zone Safety Fund to be administered by the Department of Transportation. The Judicial Department indicates that there is no indicator for infractions or offenses that are currently committed in school zones. Therefore, the amount of revenue received as a result of this new surcharge can not be determined at this time. The costs of entering new infractions or offenses into the Violations Bureau and the Judicial Department's computer systems will not require additional funding at this time. | ||||||
