by the enforcing official. The parent or legal guardian of that person also may be fined a maximum of $25 for

the person's first offense and a maximum of $100 for a subsequent offense if it can

be shown that the parent or guardian failed to exercise reasonable supervision or

control over the person's conduct. Penalties provided in this section for a failure to wear a helmet may be waived

if an offender or his parent or legal guardian presents suitable proof that an approved

helmet was owned at the time of the violation or has been purchased since the violation

occurred. b. All money collected as fines under subsection a. of this section and subsection a. of section 2 of P.L.1997, c. 411 ( C. 39:4-10.6 ) shall be deposited in a nonlapsing revolving fund to be known as the “Bicycle and Skating Safety Fund.” Interest earned on money deposited in the fund shall accrue to the fund. Money in the fund shall be utilized by the director to provide educational programs

devoted to bicycle , roller skating and skateboarding safety. If the director determines that sufficient money is available in the fund, he also

may use, in a manner prescribed by rule and regulation, the money to assist low income

families in purchasing approved bicycle helmets. For the purposes of this subsection, “ low income family ” means a family which qualifies for low income housing under the standards promulgated
