IN HB1368

Authorizes counties, cities, towns, and school corporations to adopt ordinances regulating automated traffic enforcement safety devices to detect speed limit violations in school zones, near postsecondary institutions, and highway work zones.

Establishes civil penalties up to $250 for school/institution speed violations and at least $300-$500 for worksite speed violations, with funds first applied to device costs, then distributed to local governments, trauma care hospitals, law enforcement training, and highway accounts.

Prohibits violations detected by automated devices from being reported on driving records, used for insurance rate determinations, or assessed as points by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Requires the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to suspend vehicle registration and deny title transfers for owners who fail to timely pay civil penalties or judgments related to automated enforcement violations.

Provides defense mechanisms allowing vehicle owners to redirect citations to rental companies, dealers using dealer plates, or actual drivers, with recorded images destroyed within 30-90 days after case disposition.
