Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
This legislation requires law enforcement agencies to include the fine revenue received from speeding tickets over 20 miles per hour above the speed limit when calculating total speeding fine revenue for the department. Currently the total revenue from speeding fines under 17 miles per hour cannot be more than 40 percent of the overall budget, this legislation changes that ratio to 35 percent. This bill requires counties and municipalities to include in a separate section all speeding fine revenue in the annual report submitted to the Department of Community Affairs |
