Bill Summary
This Act allows an additional assessment to be assessed for a speeding violation, proven through information captured on an electronic speed monitoring system, that exists in § 4101(j) of Title 11. This assessment was previously not permitted to be assessed unless the speeding occurred in a work zone. The assessment is $10 and is paid to the Volunteer Ambulance Company Fund.
AI Summary
This bill amends Title 21 of the Delaware Code regarding electronic speed monitoring systems and civil penalties for speeding. Specifically, the bill modifies the existing law to expand the circumstances under which additional assessments can be applied for speeding violations captured by electronic speed monitoring systems. Previously, these additional assessments (such as those defined in various sections of Delaware Code) were only permitted for violations occurring in work zones. The new language changes "shall" to "may" and adds language that allows these additional $10 assessments to be applied more broadly, not just in work zones. This means that drivers caught speeding through electronic monitoring can now be subject to these extra fees in more locations, with the $10 assessment being paid to the Volunteer Ambulance Company Fund. The bill does not change the base speeding fine but expands the potential additional penalties, and it includes a sunset provision that expires the electronic speed monitoring system provisions on June 30, 2028.
