AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law on noncriminal traffic infractions in the state of Florida. The key provisions are:
1. It requires a specified 18% reduction in the civil penalty imposed for certain noncriminal traffic infractions, if the person elects to attend a basic driver improvement course instead of a court appearance.
2. It removes the requirement that 18% of the civil penalty be deposited into the State Courts Revenue Trust Fund when a person elects to attend the driver improvement course.
3. It requires the person to pay the clerk of court the amount of the 18% reduction if they fail to attend the driver improvement course as required.
Overall, the bill aims to provide a financial incentive for people to choose the driver improvement course option for certain noncriminal traffic violations, while also adjusting the distribution of the collected civil penalties.
