The bill amends Section 31-41.3-3 of the General Laws in the "Automated School-Zone-Speed-Enforcement System Act of 2016" to extend the operational range of automated school-zone-speed-enforcement systems from one-quarter mile to three-quarters of a mile. This change allows the state department of transportation and municipalities to operate these enforcement systems within a larger area surrounding schools, thereby enhancing safety measures for students. The bill also defines a school zone as anywhere within a three-quarters mile radius of any type of school in the state of Rhode Island. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
