relative to the penalty for driving over 100 miles per hour.
HB 482 would increase penalties for drivers convicted of speeding over 100 miles per hour. The bill directly affects individuals found guilty of this specific speeding offense, potentially imposing stricter fines or jail time. It proposed concrete policy changes to the existing traffic penalty structure for high-speed violations. However, the bill was tabled and later deemed "inexpedient to legislate" by the Senate on October 31, 2025, meaning it did not become law.
