Died when the session ended The 2024 session adjourned on April 19, 2024, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary Drivers traveling on interstate highways would be allowed to drive at a higher maximum speed. If someone breaks the speed limit, they will still have to pay fines based on how fast they were going.1

Read the official explanation

Current law provides that the speed limit for all vehicular traffic is miles per hour (mph) unless otherwise provided for by other speed restrictions. The speed limit on highways that are part of the interstate road system is mph. This bill increases the speed limit on highways that are part of the interstate road system to mph.8A(14)(i) (road work zone violations). However, a school bus violation of more than mph in excess of the limit is not a scheduled violation and is punishable as a simple misdemeanor. A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than days or a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855 or by both.
