Drivers found responsible for most photo enforcement violations would owe up to $75, would not face license or insurance consequences, and $15 of each penalty would fund police equipment.
Most photo enforcement violations would carry a civil penalty of up to $75, with no driver license consequences and no effect on insurance rates or coverage.
Of each photo enforcement penalty collected, $15 would go into the peace officer training equipment fund, which may be used only for peace officer equipment.
A person found responsible for a civil traffic violation caught by a photo enforcement system would owe a civil penalty of not more than $75. This applies to photo-enforced violations other than red light violations under section 28-645 and school crossing violations under section 28-797. A state department or agency could not use the violation to decide whether to suspend or revoke the driver license, and a court could not send abstracts of the violation to the department. An insurer could not treat it as a traffic violation for setting rates or deciding insurability, and could not cancel or refuse to renew a policy because of it.
$15 of each civil penalty collected would be deposited in the peace officer training equipment fund. The fund is run by the state treasurer, and its money may be used only for peace officer equipment. Money in the fund does not revert to the state general fund at the end of the fiscal year and is subject to legislative appropriation.
No hearings or votes scheduled.
