Bill Summary
Reallocates fines incurred for violations of "Antwan's Law" to local municipality for pedestrian safety and law enforcement purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends "Antwan's Law," which establishes specific speed limits on certain sections of Route 130 in Burlington City, New Jersey, and mandates that fines for violating these speed limits be triple the standard amount. The key change is that, notwithstanding existing laws regarding the distribution of fines (specifically R.S.39:5-41), all fines collected for violations of "Antwan's Law" will now be directly paid to the municipality where the violation occurred. These funds are then designated for use in local pedestrian safety initiatives and law enforcement activities, rather than being distributed through the usual state channels. The bill also delays its effective date to the first day of the fourth month after enactment, allowing for administrative preparations.
