LMCLR IR 6.2(b)
                 MONETARY PENALTY FOR UNSCHEDULED INFRACTIONS


    The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) has interpreted School Zone
Speeding pursuant to RCW 46.61.440, and Construction Zone Speeding pursuant to
RCW 46.61.527 to be "unscheduled" infractions under IRLJ 6.2(b). On the
assumption that this is a correct interpretation, the Municipal Court has by
this rule established a local rule as permitted by IRLJ 6.2(b) to make the
School Zone Speeding and Construction Zone Speeding penalties consistent with
IRLJ 6.2(d) and the obvious intent of the legislature in adopting RCW 46.61.440(3)
and RCW 46.61.527(3).

    Pursuant to IRLJ 6.2(b) this rule adopts as the penalty for speeding in a
school zone and speeding in a construction zone the monetary base penalty set
for in IRLJ 6.2(d) for the relevant speed, but then doubled pursuant to RCW
46.61.440(3) and RCW 46.61.527(3). The base penalty, together with the
statutory assessments may not be waived, reduced or suspended.

    The fines are as set forth in the published JIS Law Table Update Bulletin
distributed by the Administrative Office of the Courts 07/22/2007.
