MEMORANDUM

Posted: April 24, 2013 11:13 AM
From: Representative Nick Miccarelli
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.

While my legislation is similar to Representative Scavello’s House Bill 38, my bill includes language which allows radar to be used by local police for townships with greater than 75,000 people.

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.

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.
