MINOR

The bill was updated to remove county-specific restrictions on how funds in the Automated Speed Enforcement Systems Program Special Fund can be spent, allowing for more flexible allocation of these resources. Additionally, the effective date of the act was changed from immediate approval to July 1, 3000, and the specific dollar threshold for surplus funds lapsing to the general fund was removed to be determined later.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded by eliminating geographic limitations on fund expenditures, permitting money to be used anywhere in the state rather than restricted to specific counties.

FISCAL

Removed county-specific expenditure restrictions, allowing the Automated Speed Enforcement Systems Program Special Fund to be used statewide.

Deleted the fixed $12,000,000 threshold for surplus funds, replacing it with a placeholder for a new amount to be specified.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date of the act from immediate approval to July 1, 3000.
