The amendment to Bill SB 556 updates the language and structure, but the key content remains unchanged. It reinforces that exceeding the speed limit on U.S. Route 15 and U.S. Route 17 in Fauquier County is against the law and specifies a $15 fine for violations. This matters because it ensures clear communication about speed regulations and penalties, which can help improve safety on these roads.
