AB739,1,2
1An Act to create 346.60 (3m) (c) of the statutes;

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an operator of a vehicle may not exceed a fixed or posted
speed limit. Depending on where the offense takes place, an operator of a motor
vehicle who exceeds a fixed or posted speed limit may be required to forfeit a
minimum of $30, $40, or $50, and a maximum of $300 for a first offense. A person
who commits a second or subsequent offense for operating a motor vehicle in excess
of a fixed or posted speed limit within one year in certain school or pedestrian zones
may be required to forfeit not less than $80, nor more than $600.
This bill doubles the applicable forfeitures for an operator of a motor vehicle
who exceeds a fixed or posted speed limit by ten or more miles per hour in a first class
city.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
