TRAFFIC VIOLATION PENALTIES

Summary

The bill lets cities and towns in New Mexico retain the money they collect from fines for traffic‑sign and speeding violations, but caps each fine at $100. After paying vendor fees, half of the remaining revenue goes to the state’s general fund and half stays with the municipality for traffic safety programs. It also requires audits and gives drivers a right to contest the fines through a hearing or mail‑in option.
