HB 6001 Summary

• Repeals Florida statutes authorizing traffic infraction detectors (automated cameras) to enforce traffic signal violations and related provisions for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, counties, and municipalities.

• Removes definitions of "local hearing officer" and "traffic infraction detector" from Florida law and eliminates provisions governing detector installation, use, and penalty distribution.

• Modifies penalty amounts and distribution for traffic signal violations enforced by different officer types: law enforcement officers receive $158 with different fund allocations than violations enforced by traffic infraction enforcement officers.

• Specifies that traffic signal violations enforced by traffic infraction enforcement officers incur no driver license points and cannot be used for setting motor vehicle insurance rates.

• Effective date: July 1, 2021.
