What This Bill Proposed
Florida authorizes counties and municipalities to revise school zone speed limit enforcement periods, regulates speed and school bus infraction detection systems, and prohibits vendors and individuals from receiving per-ticket commissions under new contracts. The legislation also establishes requirements for virtual or in-person hearings, mandates privacy protections and data destruction timelines for recorded images, and outlines district school board authorization processes for school bus camera systems.
Local governments and school districts must alter how they contract for, operate, and report on automated speed and school bus cameras, while motorists face updated rules regarding traffic infraction detection systems, notices of violation, and hearing procedures.
