DE HB330

Establishes a 2-year pilot program for video speed enforcement in Dover and Wilmington, authorizing each municipality to install and operate up to 5 vehicle speed monitoring systems in clearly marked school zones.

Imposes civil liability of up to $75 on vehicle owners for traveling at least 11 miles per hour above posted speed limits, with an additional $25 penalty if unpaid within 20 days and up to $35 in court costs if a hearing is requested and lost.

Violations are civil in nature, not classified as criminal offenses, and do not appear on driving records or affect automobile insurance rates.

Requires that vehicle speed monitoring systems be approved by the Court and DELJIS before installation, undergo annual calibration checks, and include manufacturer self-tests with documented logs.

Allows vehicle owners to rebut presumptions of liability by submitting affidavits or providing evidence that they were not the operator, or that the vehicle was stolen or in another person's care; commercially licensed vehicles require owners to identify the driver within 10 days.
