When a city enforces excess motor carrier violations, the city may keep fines from these offenses as long as the amount does not exceed 110 percent of the city's actual expenses for enforcement in the preceding fiscal year.

• A. The city may keep up to 120 percent of expenses.
• B. The city may keep up to 110 percent of expenses.
• C. The city may keep all fines.
• D. The city cannot keep fines.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that fines from enforcing motor carrier violations are allowed to be kept only up to a specific limit tied to enforcement costs. The rule sets this cap at 110 percent of the city’s actual enforcement expenses from the preceding fiscal year. So the city may retain fines as long as the total does not exceed that 110 percent limit; anything above would not be kept. This keeps fines aligned with the actual costs of enforcement and prevents profit from enforcement activities. The other options either raise the cap beyond what’s allowed, permit keeping all fines, or prohibit keeping fines altogether, none of which match the stated rule.
