| This bill relates to amending and reorganizing provisions relating to fines and fees for speeding violations, and imposing a police officer continuing education and training fee. WAM ACTION: 2/16/18 WAM testified, similar to HB0012, that it was our understanding from the AG opinion that if fines were reduced it would not impact municipal government control. We asked for text to be added for assurance but it was not amended. We will watch to propose as applicable as the bill goes to the other side. HB0093 removed the fine reductions but did include $5 from every non-municipal court speeding fine would go to a fund to support police and sheriff training. WAM stood in support of this as this could relieve current budgets that are appropriated to training. Chairman Kirkbride indicated that HB0012 and HB0093 will be resolved before the House. |
