FL H1363

Contracts awarded by governmental entities or consortiums outside Florida may not be used to procure contracts with manufacturers or vendors of traffic enforcement camera systems, including school bus infraction detection systems, speed detection systems, and traffic infraction detectors, effective July 1, 2025.

Governmental entities are prohibited from knowingly entering into or renewing contracts for traffic enforcement camera systems with vendors owned by or subject to a controlling interest of a foreign country of concern, effective July 1, 2025.

Counties or municipalities seeking to install new traffic infraction detectors on or after July 1, 2025, must enact an ordinance after a public hearing where they consider traffic data and determine the intersection poses a heightened safety risk warranting additional enforcement.

Counties and municipalities operating traffic infraction detectors must place their annual report as a standalone agenda item (not part of a consent agenda) at a regular or special meeting, allow public comment, and read aloud a written summary including violation statistics and fund distribution details; noncompliant jurisdictions are suspended from operating detectors until corrected.

The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles must publish each county or municipality report on its website and provide an annual summary report to the Governor, Senate President, and House Speaker regarding the use and operation of traffic infraction detectors.
