6 Statutes, is amended to read
7 316.0083 Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Program;
8 administration; report.—
9 (1)(a) For purposes of administering this section, the
10 department, a county, or a municipality may authorize a traffic
11 infraction enforcement officer under s. 316.640 to issue a
12 traffic citation for a violation of s. 316.074(1) or s.
13 316.075(1)(c)1. A notice of violation and a traffic citation may
14 not be issued for failure to stop at a red light if the driver
15 is making a right-hand turn in a careful and prudent manner at
16 an intersection where right-hand turns are permissible. This
17 paragraph does not prohibit a review of information from a
18 traffic infraction detector by an authorized employee or agent
19 of the department, a county, or a municipality before issuance
20 of the traffic citation by the traffic infraction enforcement
21 officer. This paragraph does not prohibit the department, a
22 county, or a municipality from issuing notification as provided
23 in paragraph (b) to the registered owner of the motor vehicle
24 involved in the violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1.
25 (b)1.a. Within 30 days after a violation, notification must
26 be sent to the registered owner of the motor vehicle involved in
27 the violation specifying the remedies available under s. 318.14
28 and that the violator must pay the penalty of $158 to the
29 department, county, or municipality, or furnish an affidavit in
30 accordance with paragraph (d), or request a hearing to be held
31 in the county court for the county in which the violation
32 occurred, within 90 30 days following the date of delivery or
33 attempted delivery of the notification in order to avoid court
34 fees, costs, and the issuance of a traffic citation. The
35 notification shall be sent by first-class mail.
36 b. Included with the notification to the registered owner
37 of the motor vehicle involved in the infraction must be a notice
38 that the owner has the right to review the photographic or
39 electronic images or the streaming video evidence that
40 constitutes a rebuttable presumption against the owner of the
41 vehicle. The notice must state the time and place or Internet
42 location where the evidence may be examined and observed.
43 c. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person who
44 receives a notice of violation under this section shall have the
45 option of requesting a hearing within 90 days following the date
46 of delivery or attempted delivery of the notice of violation or
47 paying the penalty pursuant to the notice of violation, but no
48 payment or fee may be required before a hearing requested by the
49 person. The notice of violation must be accompanied by
50 information on the person’s right to request a hearing and on
51 all court costs related thereto, and by a form to request a
52 hearing. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term “person”
53 includes a natural person, registered owner or coowner of a
54 motor vehicle, or person identified on an affidavit as having
55 care, custody, or control of the motor vehicle at the time of
56 the violation.
57 d. If the person requests a hearing, the request must be
58 made to the county or municipality in which the violation
59 occurred. The municipality in which the violation occurred, or,
60 if the violation occurred in an unincorporated area, the county
61 in which the violation occurred, shall forward the request for
62 hearing and a copy of the citation to the clerk of the circuit
63 court of the county where the violation occurred.
64 e. If the registered owner or coowner of the motor vehicle,
65 or the person designated as having care, custody, or control of
66 the motor vehicle at the time of the violation, or a duly
67 authorized representative of the owner, coowner, or designated
68 person, initiates a proceeding to challenge the delivery or
69 attempted delivery of the notice of violation pursuant to this
70 paragraph, such person waives any challenge or dispute as to
71 delivery.
72 2. Penalties assessed and collected by the department,
73 county, or municipality authorized to collect the funds provided
74 for in this paragraph, less the amount retained by the county or
75 municipality pursuant to subparagraph 3., shall be paid to the
76 Department of Revenue weekly. Payment by the department, county,

175 e. The motor vehicle’s owner was deceased on or before the
176 date that the uniform traffic citation was issued, as
177 established by an affidavit submitted by the representative of
178 the motor vehicle owner’s estate or other designated person or
179 family member.
180 2. In order to establish such facts, the owner of the motor
181 vehicle shall, within 30 days after the date of issuance of the

243 video attached to or referenced in the traffic citation is
244 evidence that a violation of s. 316.074(1) or s. 316.075(1)(c)1.
245 when the driver failed to stop at a traffic signal has occurred
246 and is admissible in any proceeding to enforce this section and
247 raises a rebuttable presumption that the motor vehicle named in
248 the report or shown in the photographic or electronic images or
249 streaming video evidence was used in violation of s. 316.074(1)
250 or s. 316.075(1)(c)1. when the driver failed to stop at a

318 specified by the court. The court may require the use of an
319 approved ignition interlock device for a period of at least not
320 less than 6 continuous months, if the person is permitted to
321 operate a motor vehicle, whether or not the privilege to operate
322 a motor vehicle is restricted, as determined by the court. The

409 316.515 Maximum width, height, length.—
410 (3) LENGTH LIMITATION.—Except as otherwise provided in this
411 section, length limitations apply solely to a semitrailer or
412 trailer, and not to a truck tractor or to the overall length of
413 a combination of vehicles. No combination of commercial motor
414 vehicles coupled together and operating on the public roads may
415 consist of more than one truck tractor and two trailing units.
416 Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this section, a
417 combination of vehicles not qualifying as commercial motor
418 vehicles may consist of no more than two units coupled together;
419 such nonqualifying combination of vehicles may not exceed a
420 total length of 65 feet, inclusive of the load carried thereon,
421 but exclusive of safety and energy conservation devices approved
422 by the department for use on vehicles using public roads.
423 Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a truck
424 tractor-semitrailer combination engaged in the transportation of
425 automobiles or boats may transport motor vehicles or boats on
426 part of the power unit; and, except as may otherwise be mandated
427 under federal law, an automobile or boat transporter semitrailer
428 may not exceed 50 feet in length, exclusive of the load;
429 however, the load may extend up to an additional 6 feet beyond
430 the rear of the trailer. The 50-feet length limitation does not
431 apply to non-stinger-steered automobile or boat transporters
432 that are 65 feet or less in overall length, exclusive of the
433 load carried thereon, or to stinger-steered automobile or boat
434 transporters that are 75 feet or less in overall length,
435 exclusive of the load carried thereon. For purposes of this
436 subsection, a “stinger-steered automobile or boat transporter”
437 is an automobile or boat transporter configured as a semitrailer
438 combination wherein the fifth wheel is located on a drop frame
439 located behind and below the rearmost axle of the power unit.
440 Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b), any straight truck or
441 truck tractor-semitrailer combination engaged in the
442 transportation of horticultural trees may allow the load to
