| To: | All House members |
| Subject: | Co-Sponsorship of Legislation - Radar used by Local Police |
In the near future, I will introduce legislation which allows local police to use radar as a speed timing device for townships with greater than 75,000 people (previously HB 1379 of 2013). Radar may be used by members of the State Police who have completed an approved training course by the Pennsylvania State Police and the Municipal Police Officers’ Education and Training Commission and who are members of a full-service political subdivision or regional police department. Under this bill, upon conviction of a speeding violation, 50 percent of the fine shall be payable to the municipality in which the offense occurred, with $1 payable to the Municipal Law Enforcement Accreditation Fund. This fund, established under this legislation, will be a non-lapsing restricted receipt account within the State Treasury and will fund the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency’s administration of the Municipal Law Enforcement Accreditation grant program. Please join me in sponsoring this important piece of legislation in order to aid local police officers. Thank you for your consideration. |
