This bill amends "Antwan's Law" to ensure that fines collected for violations of specific speed limits in Burlington City are allocated directly to the local municipality. The bill specifies that the fines, which are set at triple the standard amount for similar violations, will be paid into the municipal treasury and designated for pedestrian safety and law enforcement purposes. This change aims to enhance local efforts in improving safety for pedestrians in areas where speed limits have been reduced due to past tragedies.

The current law requires that fines be split between the municipality and the county for general use and road maintenance. However, this bill modifies that requirement specifically for violations of Antwan's Law, redirecting all collected fines to the municipality where the violation occurred. This legislative change is intended to provide municipalities with dedicated funding to address pedestrian safety concerns and support law enforcement initiatives in their communities.
