Bill > HB1161

This bill modifies Georgia law regarding motor vehicle operations and traffic enforcement. It clarifies that drivers must yield to authorized emergency vehicles and law enforcement vehicles during traffic stops by moving to the right and stopping, unless directed otherwise by an officer, and specifies that fleeing from certain law enforcement vehicles will result in penalties calculated based on the distance traveled while evading. The bill also adjusts regulations on window tinting, reducing the permissible light transmission for front side windows to 28% and for rear windows to 15%, while maintaining the 20% light reflectance limit for all tinted windows except for specific vehicle types like multipurpose passenger vehicles and buses. Additionally, it revises requirements for automated traffic enforcement safety devices, or speed cameras, in school zones by mandating clearer warning signs that display a vehicle's speed and flashing lights when the camera is active, requiring annual reporting of revenue generated by these devices, and strengthening the notice for non-payment of civil penalties by stating it can prevent motor vehicle registration renewal.
