Bill > SF3324

This bill modifies the due date for a legislative report prepared by the Center for Transportation Studies at the University of Minnesota regarding an analysis of traffic safety violations. Specifically, the bill changes the final report submission deadline from July 1, 2025, to January 15, 2026. The original legislative directive requires the center to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of citation dispositions for speeding, impairment, distraction, and seatbelt violations between 2017 and 2022. The analysis includes examining citation issuance rates, court contest rates and outcomes, fine amounts, fine payment patterns, and changes in traffic enforcement trends. The center is still required to submit an interim progress report by July 1, 2024, and the bill specifies that this section becomes effective the day after final enactment. This modification provides the Center for Transportation Studies additional time to complete its detailed analysis of traffic safety violation data.
