HF 160: Increasing the speed limit on the interstate road system

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 it does

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.
