The bill amends subsection 9 of section 39-06.1-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to penalties for violations of speed limits in highway construction zones. The new legal language specifies that the fee for exceeding the posted speed limit by one to ten miles per hour is increased to one hundred fifty dollars. Additionally, for speeds exceeding ten miles per hour over the limit, the fee is set at one hundred fifty dollars plus an additional two dollars for each mile per hour over the limit. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the fee applies only when construction workers are present at the time of the violation and that 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 in these areas.
