GA HB1443

Prohibits non-transit vehicles from parking, standing, stopping, or operating in designated MARTA transit vehicle lanes in the City of Atlanta, with exceptions for emergencies or actions authorized by traffic-control devices or law

Authorizes the use of automated transit vehicle lane monitoring devices (cameras) to capture recorded images of violating vehicles and issue civil monetary penalties to vehicle owners: $50 for the first offense, $100 for the second, and $150 for the third or subsequent offenses, with a processing fee cap of $25 and late fee cap of $5

First-time offenders may complete an online transit lane safety course (no longer than 10 minutes) in lieu of the $50 fine; third-time offenders who are the vehicle owner-operator must also complete an approved defensive driving course

Failure to pay civil monetary penalties or complete required courses after multiple notices (initial, second, and final) triggers a referral to the Department of Revenue, which will refuse to renew the vehicle's registration until the penalty is resolved

Requires warning signs between 200 and 500 feet before any signalized transit lane entrance, mandates a six-month warning-only period for each new transit lane, and directs all collected revenue to fund public safety initiatives or transit vehicle lane maintenance
