This law creates a municipal child safety trust fund from court fees collected from convicted violators of certain motor vehicle laws. Monies from the fund must be used to cover the costs of city school crossing guard program, if the city operates one. If there is no such city crossing guard program, or where the money in the fund exceeds the cost of operating the program, any remaining money in the fund may be deposited in an interest-bearing account or expended for programs designed to enhance child safety, health, or nutrition.
