Missouri Governor Jay Nixon signs legislation aimed at further limiting cities’ ability to profit from traffic tickets and fines. The measure adds ordinance violations to an existing law that caps profits on how much municipalities can profit from traffic tickets and court fines. The legislation also will lower maximum fines for minor traffic violation from $300 to $225. It limits fines for ordinance violations, ranging from at most $200 for a first offense to $450 for a fourth offense in a year.
