• A. Findings. Assembly Bill AB 1886, enacted by the California State Legislature and effective January 1, 2003, provides for increased penalties, including the doubling of fine amounts for certain specified traffic violations that occur in specially posted school zones in Alameda County.

Funds accrued through these increased penalties are to be specifically set aside in a dedicated account in the County treasury and used to pay for school pedestrian and bicyclist safety programs, through collaboration of the City and of the New Haven Unified School District.

AB 1886 requires that in order to implement the increased penalties the City must adopt the provisions of said assembly bill, and specifically Section 42011 for the California Vehicle Code, enacted by that assembly bill.

• B. Adoption of California Vehicle Code Section 42011. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 45452 of the California Education Code and Section 1463.21 of the California Penal Code, Section 42011 is hereby adopted and incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full, into the Union City Municipal Code.
