AI Summary

  • Eliminates the existing graduated speeding fine schedule (ranging from $5 for 1-5 mph over to $100+ for 46+ mph over) for roads with speed limits of 65 mph or lower, consolidating these into a simplified fee structure

  • Establishes a $100 surcharge for speeding violations of 21+ mph over the limit in zones under 75 mph, and 16+ mph over in zones of 75 mph or higher

  • Removes the provision allowing cities to set traffic violation fines up to 100% higher than state statutory fees for equivalent violations

  • Removes the exemption that prevented jail commitment for nonpayment of city traffic fees, meaning unpaid traffic fines may now result in incarceration (up to 30 days) like other municipal fines

  • Retains separate fee schedules for highways over 65 mph ($2/mph for 1-10 over, $20 plus $5/mph for 11+ over), school zones ($40 base), and construction zones ($80 base)
