For moving traffic violations the total is $9.00; for nonmoving traffic violations, S1.00; <br />and for all other violations, $5.00. This scheme was required under state law. <br /> <br />State law now requires a minimum of $5 O0 for the crime victims' compensation fund in all <br />cases, and permits an additional $300 for law enforcement training and $1.00 for battered <br />persons' shelters. <br /> <br />The effect of this bill is to maintain the $900 total for moving traffic violations and increase the <br />total to $9.00 for all other violations. <br /> <br />Feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter. <br /> <br />i~hcneF!.re lY'· <br />JFM:lku <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br /> <br />
