An Act Relating to Fines for Offenses Committed Within School Zones.

HB 387 doubles the fine assessed for motor vehicle or traffic offenses committed in a school zone. This bill mirrors a law passed by the Alaska State Legislature in 1998, which doubled the fine for violations committed in a highway work zone.

Doubling fines in school zones serves several purposes; it increases public awareness of the need for increased school zone safety, confirms our commitment to student safety, and serves as a further deterrent to motor vehicle violations in school zones.

Due to the particular difficulties presented by Alaska's climate walking to school and in school zones can be dangerous for students. This bill attempts to mitigate this risk to students through the deterrent effect of increased fines.

Please join me in protecting our children by endorsing and passing House Bill 387.
