Bill > HB1292

This bill authorizes counties and municipalities to implement and enforce ordinances using automated traffic enforcement safety devices, which are defined as devices that can record vehicle speed and capture clear images of a vehicle and its license plate, along with the date, time, and location of a violation. These devices must undergo annual calibration. The bill establishes a civil penalty for violations detected by these devices, with at least half of the penalty going towards the cost of installing, operating, and maintaining the devices, and the remainder to be used for public safety and infrastructure. Importantly, violations recorded by these devices will not be reported on a driver's record, used to determine insurance rates, or result in points assessed by the bureau of motor vehicles (BMV). The bill also prohibits agents operating these devices from reselling collected data. If a civil penalty is not paid, the BMV will be notified and will suspend the vehicle's registration until the penalty and any reinstatement fees are paid. The bill also allows school corporations to use these devices on school buses and clarifies that violations of school bus stop arm laws can be enforced using these devices.
