Regular Session 2021
Title
Motor vehicles, reduced speed school zones, to include schools in a municipality, Secs. 32-5A-181, 32-5A-182, 32-5A-183 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, a reduced speed school zone is established for every school in the county outside the corporate limits of a municipality

Also under existing law, a person who is convicted of a school zone speed violation is assessed a fine double the amount prescribed by law for outside of the school zone

This bill would expand the reduced speed school zone to include every public and private school in the state

Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, prohibits a general law whose purpose or effect would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds from becoming effective with regard to a local governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote unless: it comes within one of a number of specified exceptions; it is approved by the affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to the entity for the purpose

The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one of the specified exceptions contained in the amendment

Relating to reduced speed school zones; to amend Sections 32-5A-181, 32-5A-182, and 32-5A-183, Code of Alabama 1975, to provide that the reduced speed school zone applies to every public and private school in the state; and in connection therewith would have as its purpose or effect the requirement of a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended.
