Effective October 1, 2008, HB 137 revises the traffic laws to create a few more penalties. This short bill
was particularly focused on unsafe motorcycle activities, but it does include a provision for excessive
speed. The new law also provides penalties for the first, second, third or subsequent violations. The
Distribution Chart found on the FACC website will be updated to reflect the amounts for the first and
second offenses in the Traffic section. The third and subsequent offense is classified as a third degree
felony with a $5,000 fine and will appear in the Criminal Traffic section of the chart...
