Limits civil penalties to a maximum of $200 per violation, with penalties treated as non-moving violations that do not affect driving records, insurance rates, or result in points on licenses

Requires 30-day warning period before issuing citations, mandatory signage indicating speed-safety systems are in use, annual calibration checks, and certified peace officer initiation of system operation

Establishes a nonjudicial administrative hearing process for contesting citations, with defenses including stolen vehicle/plates or proof that someone else was driving

Restricts school zone system operation to Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and requires agencies to submit a report analyzing public safety and racial equity impacts within three years; the entire act automatically repeals on December 31, 2030
