        This Act allows an additional assessment to be assessed for a speeding violation, proven through information captured on an electronic speed monitoring system, that exists in § 4101(j) of Title 11. This assessment was previously not permitted to be assessed unless the speeding occurred in a work zone.  The assessment is $10 and is paid to the Volunteer Ambulance Company Fund.
        It also makes technical corrections to conform to the requirements of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
