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 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. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the fee is only applicable in highway construction zones when construction workers are present, 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.
