AI Summary
This bill, the NC Highway Safety Act of 2023, establishes a pilot program to use electronic speed-measuring systems to detect and enforce speeding violations in highway work zones. It authorizes the Department of Transportation (DOT) to use these systems, sets standards for their approval and use, creates a civil penalty of $250 for speeding violations detected by the systems, and establishes a special fund called the Civil Penalty Litigation Fund to receive 75% of the collected penalties, with the remaining 25% going to the State Public School Fund. The bill also appropriates $100,000 to the Office of State Budget and Management to implement the pilot program, and requires the DOT to report annually on the program's effectiveness.
