To reduce from $40 to $30 a traffic court surcharge imposed on traffic ticket fines, which is used to have State Police patrol local roads in some jurisdictions, allowing them to essentially shift a portion of their public safety expenses to state taxpayers. The money would instead come from a new $15 million earmark of annual liquor tax revenue to this account.
