HB 122 -- Traffic Violation Revenues

Sponsor:  Nance

Currently, if a city, town, or village receives more than 45% of
its total annual revenue from fines for traffic violations, all
revenue from these violations in excess of 45% must be sent to
the Department of Revenue.  This bill reduces the amount to 35%
of the annual general operating revenue, but includes court costs
for traffic violations in the amount.  Failure to send the excess
revenue to the department in a timely manner as determined by the
department director results in the city, town, or village being
subject to an annual audit by the State Auditor.
