The revised version of Bill SB 5127 increases the fee associated with traumatic brain injuries from $2 to $5 per traffic infraction. This change is important because the additional revenue generated will be directed to support programs focused on managing and promoting awareness of traumatic brain injuries, ultimately enhancing public health and safety initiatives in Washington.
