FL S0588

Authorizes Florida counties and municipalities to use automated speed detection systems (radar/lidar with photo/video capture) to enforce speed limits in school zones during periods from 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after school sessions and breakfast programs, targeting violations exceeding 10 mph over the posted limit

Imposes a $100 civil penalty for violations detected by the system, distributed among the General Revenue Fund ($20), the county/municipality ($60 for program administration and public safety), the county school district ($12 for school security and student safety), the School Crossing Guard Recruitment and Retention Program ($5), and the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Trust Fund ($3)

Prohibits driver license points from being assessed and bars the use of speed detection system violations for setting motor vehicle insurance rates

Requires counties or municipalities new to the program to conduct a 30-day public awareness campaign before enforcement begins, during which only warnings may be issued, and mandates signage in school zones indicating photographic or video enforcement

Establishes detailed notice and appeals procedures, including a first-class mail notice of violation within 30 days, a 30-day window for the registered owner to pay or request a hearing, and issuance of a uniform traffic citation by certified mail if no response is received; recorded video and photos must be destroyed within 90 days of final disposition
