What’s in it
AI summary Local governments that use automated systems to issue traffic tickets would no longer be allowed to keep the money for their own police, fire, or road projects. Instead, they must deposit the ticket money into the state's road use tax fund, though they can still keep enough to pay for the system itself. These local authorities must also send a report to the department of transportation showing exactly how much money they collected and spent on the system.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, a local authority that is permitted to use an automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement (system) in accordance with Code chapter 321P (automated traffic enforcement) is prohibited from using revenue received and retained by the local authority as a result of the use of such system, not including the cost to install, operate, and maintain the system, other than to fund transportation infrastructure improvement projects or to offset costs incurred relating to the operation of a police department or fire department. This bill instead requires local authorities to deposit moneys received from citations issued using a system into the road use tax fund. However, such entities may still retain moneys necessary to operate, use, maintain, and administer the system. The bill requires permitted local authorities that received moneys from such citations to submit a report to the department of transportation containing a statement of all moneys received by and expenses paid relating to the system.
