Summary

The bill changes Utah's penalties for driving faster than 20 mph in a reduced‑speed school zone by eliminating the requirement that offenders perform crossing‑guard observation service. It establishes minimum fines that rise with speed and repeat offenses, and directs the Driver License Division to track first versus subsequent convictions. The change simplifies enforcement while still allowing courts to order community service if they choose.
