| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| Reducing the fines assessed for excessive vehicle weight violations if the owner of the commercial vehicle has a gross income of less than $100,000 and prohibiting the issuance of more than one weight-related citation within a 24 hour period will result in a reduction of revenue to the Highway Fund and the General Fund in amounts that can not be determined at this time. This bill may increase the number of court cases that are contested and require a court hearing, resulting in additional work for the Judicial Department which could impact their ability to process cases in a timely manner. | |||||||||
