This bill establishes a new dedicated School Zone Safety Fund to be administered by the Commissioner of the 
Department of Transportation. The fund will derive its revenues from the doubling of certain fines for traffic 
infractions and criminal offenses committed while passing a school bus or within a school zone. The current fine 
revenue is deposited into the General Fund. The projected revenue for the fund and subsequent General Fund revenue 
loss can not be determined because there is no data relative to how many traffic violations were committed within 
school zones. Beginning in fiscal year 2005-06, the Department of Transportation will require additional annual Other 
Special Revenue Fund allocations of $500 to authorize spending for the new fund. In addition, the Judicial 
Department will require a one-time General Fund appropriation of $30,000 for computer programming consultation to 
carry out the purposes of this bill.
