Butte Restrained From Transferring Traffic Funds to State
City of Butte faced a restraint on turning over penalties collected by its police court to a state driver education fund created by a 1965 law. Judge James D. Freebourn allowed continued collection on a sliding scale for certain traffic violations, but funds must be held pending further action. Proceedings to test constitutionality could lead to higher court review, potentially reaching the Montana Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court. The case involves Thomas Sanders and local officials as briefs are filed.
