| 29 | administration; report.-- |
| 30 | (1) There is created the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety |
| 31 | Program governing the operation of traffic infraction detectors. |
| 32 | The program shall be administered by the Department of |
| 33 | Transportation and shall include the following provisions: |
| 34 | (a) In order to use a traffic infraction detector, a |
| 35 | county or municipality must enact an ordinance that provides for |
| 36 | the use of a traffic infraction detector to enforce s. |
| 37 | 316.075(1)(c), which requires the driver of a vehicle to stop |
| 38 | the vehicle when facing a traffic control signal steady red |
| 39 | light on the streets and highways under the jurisdiction of the |
| 40 | county or municipality. The traffic infraction detector must |
| 41 | conform to the contract specifications adopted by the Department |
| 42 | of Transportation under s. 316.0776. A county or municipality |
| 43 | may install such detectors on state, county, or municipal |
| 44 | rights-of-way within the boundaries of that county or |
| 45 | municipality. Only a municipality may install or authorize the |
| 46 | installation of any such detectors within the incorporated area |
| 47 | of the municipality. A municipality may authorize the state or |
| 48 | county to install such detectors within its incorporated area. |
| 49 | Only a county may install or authorize the installation of any |
| 50 | such detectors within the unincorporated area of the county. A |
| 51 | county may authorize the state to install such detectors in the |
| 52 | unincorporated area of the county. A county or municipality that |
| 53 | operates a traffic infraction detector must authorize a traffic |
| 54 | infraction enforcement officer or a code enforcement officer to |
| 55 | issue a ticket for a violation of s. 316.075(1)(c) and to |
| 56 | enforce the payment of the ticket for such violation. This |
| 57 | paragraph does not authorize a traffic infraction enforcement |
| 58 | officer or a code enforcement officer to carry a firearm or |
| 59 | other weapon and does not authorize such an officer to make |
| 60 | arrests. The ordinance must require signs to be posted at |
| 61 | locations designated by the county or municipality providing |
| 62 | notification that a traffic infraction detector may be in use. |
| 63 | Such signage must conform to the specifications adopted by the |
| 64 | Department of Transportation under s. 316.0745. The ordinance |
| 65 | must provide for the county or municipality to install, |
| 66 | maintain, and operate traffic infraction detectors on a right- |
| 67 | of-way owned or maintained by the Department of Transportation |
| 68 | or on a right-of-way owned or maintained by the county or |
| 69 | municipality in which the traffic infraction detector is to be |
| 70 | installed. The ordinance must also require that the county or |
| 71 | municipality make a public announcement and conduct a public |
| 72 | awareness campaign of the proposed use of traffic infraction |
| 73 | detectors at least 30 days before commencing the enforcement |
| 74 | program. In addition, the ordinance must establish a fine of |
| 75 | $150 to be assessed against the registered owner of a motor |
| 76 | vehicle that fails to stop when facing a traffic control signal |
| 77 | steady red light as determined through the use of a traffic |
| 78 | infraction detector. Any other provision of law to the contrary |
| 79 | notwithstanding, an additional surcharge, fee, or cost may not |
| 80 | be added to the civil penalty authorized by this paragraph. |
| 81 | (b) When responding to an emergency call, an emergency |
| 82 | vehicle is exempt from any ordinance enacted under this section. |
| 83 | (c) A county or municipality must adopt an ordinance under |
| 84 | this section that provides for the use of a traffic infraction |
| 85 | detector in order to impose a fine on the registered owner of a |
| 86 | motor vehicle for a violation of s. 316.075(1)(c). The fine |
| 87 | shall be imposed in the same manner and is subject to the same |
| 88 | limitations as provided for parking violations under s. |
| 89 | 316.1967. Except as specifically provided in this section, |
| 90 | chapter 318 and s. 322.27 do not apply to a violation of s. |
| 91 | 316.075(1)(c) for which a ticket has been issued under an |
| 92 | ordinance enacted pursuant to this section. Enforcement of a |
| 93 | ticket issued under the ordinance is not a conviction of the |
| 94 | operator of the motor vehicle, may not be made a part of the |
| 95 | driving record of the operator, and may not be used for purposes |
| 96 | of setting motor vehicle insurance rates. Points under s. 322.27 |
| 97 | may not be assessed based upon such enforcement. |
| 98 | (d) The procedures set forth in s. 316.1967(2)-(5) apply |
| 99 | to an ordinance enacted pursuant to this section, except that |
| 100 | the ticket must contain the name and address of the person |
| 101 | alleged to be liable as the registered owner of the motor |
| 102 | vehicle involved in the violation, the tag number of the motor |
| 103 | vehicle, the violation charged, a copy of the photographic image |
| 104 | or images evidencing the violation, the location where the |
| 105 | violation occurred, the date and time of the violation, |
| 106 | information that identifies the device that recorded the |
| 107 | violation, and a signed statement by a specifically trained |
| 108 | technician employed by the agency or its contractor that, based |
| 109 | on inspection of photographs or other recorded images, the motor |
| 110 | vehicle was being operated in violation of s. 316.075(1)(c). The |
| 111 | ticket must advise the registered owner of the motor vehicle |
| 112 | involved in the violation of the amount of the fine, the date by |
| 113 | which the fine must be paid, and the procedure for contesting |
| 114 | the violation alleged in the ticket. The ticket must contain a |
| 115 | warning that failure to contest the violation in the manner and |
| 116 | time provided is deemed an admission of the liability and that a |
| 117 | default may be entered thereon. The violation shall be processed |
| 118 | by the county or municipality that has jurisdiction over the |
| 119 | street or highway where the violation occurred or by any entity |
| 120 | authorized by the county or municipality to prepare and mail the |
| 121 | ticket. |
| 122 | (e) The ticket shall be sent by first-class mail addressed |
| 123 | to the registered owner of the motor vehicle and postmarked no |
| 124 | later than 30 days after the date of the violation. |
| 125 | (f)1. The registered owner of the motor vehicle involved |
| 126 | in a violation is responsible and liable for payment of the fine |
| 127 | assessed pursuant to this section unless the owner can establish |
| 128 | that: |
| 129 | a. The motor vehicle passed through the intersection in |
| 130 | order to yield right-of-way to an emergency vehicle or as part |
| 131 | of a funeral procession; |

| 135 | violation; |
| 136 | d. A uniform traffic citation was issued to the driver of |
| 137 | the motor vehicle for the alleged violation of s. 316.075(1)(c); |
| 138 | or |
| 139 | e. A medical emergency. |
| 140 | 2. In order to establish any such fact, the registered |
| 141 | owner of the vehicle must, within 30 days after receipt of |
| 142 | notification of the alleged violation, furnish to the county or |
| 143 | municipality, as appropriate, an affidavit that sets forth |
| 144 | detailed information supporting an exemption as provided in sub- |
| 145 | subparagraph 1.a., sub-subparagraph 1.b., sub-subparagraph 1.c., |
| 146 | or sub-subparagraph 1.d. For an exemption under sub-subparagraph |
| 147 | 1.c., the affidavit must set forth that the vehicle was stolen |
| 148 | and be accompanied by a copy of the police report indicating |
| 149 | that the vehicle was stolen at the time of the alleged |
| 150 | violation. For an exemption under sub-subparagraph 1.d., the |
| 151 | affidavit must set forth that a citation was issued and be |
| 152 | accompanied by a copy of the citation indicating the time of the |
| 153 | alleged violation and the location of the intersection where it |
| 154 | occurred. |

| 156 | person failed to stop at a traffic control signal steady red |
| 157 | light as evidenced by a traffic infraction detector by electing |
| 158 | to appear before any judge or hearing officer authorized by law |
| 159 | to preside over a hearing that adjudicates traffic infractions. |
| 160 | A person who elects to appear before the judge or hearing |
| 161 | officer to present evidence is deemed to have waived the |
| 162 | limitation of civil penalties imposed for the violation. The |
| 163 | judge or hearing officer, after hearing, shall determine whether |
| 164 | the violation was committed and may impose a civil penalty not |
| 165 | to exceed $150 plus costs. The judge or hearing officer may take |
| 166 | appropriate measures to enforce the collection of any penalty |
| 167 | not paid within the time permitted by the county, municipality, |
| 168 | or court. |
| 169 | (h) A certificate sworn to or affirmed by a person |
| 170 | authorized under this section who is employed by or under |
| 171 | contract with the county or municipality where the infraction |
| 172 | occurred, or a facsimile thereof that is based upon inspection |
| 173 | of photographs or other recorded images produced by a traffic |
| 174 | infraction detector, is prima facie evidence of the facts |
| 175 | contained in the certificate. A photograph or other recorded |
| 176 | image evidencing a violation of s. 316.075(1)(c) must be |
| 177 | available for inspection in any proceeding to adjudicate |
| 178 | liability under an ordinance enacted pursuant to this section. |

| 190 | section. Funds deposited into the Department of Health |
| 191 | Administrative Trust Fund under this subsection shall be |
| 192 | distributed as provided in s. 395.4036(1). |
| 193 | (3) A complaint that a county or municipality is employing |
