Bill Summary
This bill revises the way motor vehicle fines collected for tickets issued by the State Police are distributed. Under current law, all motor vehicle fine, penalty and forfeiture moneys generated through tickets written by the State Police are paid to the State Treasurer and available for general State purposes. This bill revises that distribution by providing that two-thirds of those motor vehicle fine, penalty and forfeiture moneys be paid to the State and the remaining one-third be paid to the municipality in which the violation occurred. The bill authorizes the recipient municipalities to use these moneys for general municipal purposes and to defray the cost of operating their municipal courts.
