Bill Summary

Authorizing a law enforcement agency to impound a motor vehicle for which three or more citations from an automated traffic enforcement system have been issued if the citations are unpaid and overdue by at least 30 days.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes law enforcement agencies to impound a motor vehicle if it has accumulated three or more unpaid and overdue citations (by at least 30 days) from any automated traffic enforcement system, which are defined as various camera and sensor systems used to monitor traffic violations like speeding, running red lights, or failing to stop at stop signs. This impoundment can occur either when a law enforcement officer stops the driver for a separate suspected violation or when the vehicle is found to be parked. The bill also makes some technical changes to which specific automated traffic enforcement systems are included in the definition, with some systems being removed and others renumbered.
