AN ACT CONCERNING REMITTANCE OF REVENUE FROM CERTAIN TRAFFIC FINES TO MUNICIPALITIES
SUMMARY: Existing law requires the state to remit fines imposed for certain traffic violations, such as parking violations, to the municipality in which the violation occurred. For select municipalities, this act additionally requires the state to remit 50% of the fines imposed for obstructing a designated intersection (i. e. , “blocking the box”) to the municipality in which the violation occurred. It applies to the eight most populous municipalities based on the most recent federal decennial census (i. e. , Bridgeport, Danbury, Hartford, New Britain, New Haven, Norwalk, Stamford, and Waterbury).
