Amends TCA Title 55.
Generally under present law, the primary responsibility for enforcing traffic laws within the limits of a municipality is on the municipality. However, under present law a municipality having a population of 10,000 or less and with at least two entrance ramps to and at least two exit ramps from an interstate highway is not authorized to enforce traffic laws when the contiguous stretch of the interstate highway between such entrance and exit ramps does not lie solely within the territorial limits of the municipality. This bill revises this provision to remove the requirement that the referenced area be "solely" within the territorial limits of the municipality in order for the municipality to be authorized to enforce the traffic laws of this state as described above.
