An Act increasing the penalties for violating speed limits in school zones

SD 812 amends state law to include school zones in areas where speeding violations incur stricter penalties. It directly affects drivers who exceed speed limits in designated school zones. The bill updates Section 17 of Chapter 90 by adding "school zones" to the list of locations (alongside construction areas) subject to enhanced penalties for speeding. This change modifies existing law to apply the same elevated fines for speeding in school zones as are currently applied in construction zones.
