                          1.6
       MONETARY PENALTY FOR UNSCHEDULED INFRACTIONS


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

Pursuant to IRLJ 6.2 (b) this rule adopts as the penalty for
speeding in a school 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).  The base penalty, together
with the statutory assessments may not be waived, reduced or
suspended.  The court will not consider a request for
deferred findings under RCW 46.63.070 (5) in a school zone speeding case.
