This bill amends the penalty structure for speeding violations in Iowa, specifically for instances where a driver exceeds the speed limit by more than twenty miles per hour. Under the current law, the fine for such violations is set at $135 plus an additional $5 for each mile per hour over the limit. The proposed changes will increase this fine to $285, with the same additional charge of $5 for each mile per hour exceeding the twenty-mile threshold.

The adjustments aim to enhance the penalties for excessive speeding, thereby promoting safer driving practices. The new legal language reflects these changes, replacing the previous fine amount of $135 with the increased amount of $285, while also modifying the structure of the fines associated with excessive speed.
