The bill amends subsection 9 of section 39-06.1-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to violations of speed limits in highway construction zones. The new legal language specifies that for speeding violations of one through ten miles per hour over the posted limit, the fee will be increased from eighty-one dollars to one hundred fifty dollars. Additionally, for speeds exceeding ten miles per hour over the limit, the fee will be one hundred fifty dollars plus two dollars for each additional mile per hour over the limit, unless a greater fee applies under the law. The bill also clarifies that the fee for violations in construction zones is only applicable when construction workers are present at the time of the violation, and the posted speed limit sign must indicate "Minimum Fee $150." This amendment aims to enhance safety in construction zones by imposing stricter penalties for speeding violations.
