What’s in it

Under current law, a person who operates a motor vehicle in excess of a speed limit under Code section 321.236(5, 11) (public parks and alleys), Code section 321.285 (speed restrictions generally), Code section 321.383(5) (implements of husbandry), Code section 321O.5(1) (personal delivery devices), or Code section 461A.36 (state parks and preserves), commits a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine that varies depending on the excessive speed. The fine ranges from $30 for a speed in excess of the limit by not more than miles per hour (MPH) to $135 plus $5 for each MPH of excessive speed over MPH over the limit. This bill increases the scheduled fine for excessive speed over MPH over the limit to $285 plus $5 for each MPH of excessive speed over MPH over the limit.
