1-25 SECTION 1. Article XIX, Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on

1-27 by adding Section 169C to read as follows:
1-28 Sec. 169C. FUEL CONSERVATION SPEED LIMIT. If a person
1-29 violates a maximum prima facie speed limit imposed under Section
1-30 169B of this Act and the person was not traveling at a speed, as
1-31 alleged in the citation if not contested by the person or as
1-32 alleged in the complaint and found by the court, that is greater
1-33 than the maximum prima facie speed limit for the location that has
1-34 been established under this Act, other than under Section 169B,
1-35 information in the custody of the department concerning the
1-36 violation is confidential. The department may not release the
1-37 information to any person or to another state governmental entity.
1-38 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-39 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-40 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-41 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-42 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-43 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-44 passage, and it is so enacted.
