This bill authorizes municipalities in Escambia County to implement automated photographic speeding enforcement systems to detect and record speeding violations in designated zones, such as school and construction areas. It establishes procedures for issuing civil violation notices, which must be mailed to vehicle owners within 30 days of the violation, with a maximum civil fine of $195. A portion of the fines will fund school resource officers and safety programs. Municipalities are required to post signs notifying motorists of the system's use and conduct public awareness campaigns before implementation. The bill also grants municipal courts jurisdiction to adjudicate these civil violations and outlines the process for contesting fines, including the rights of vehicle owners and the admissibility of evidence in hearings.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions for adjudicating civil violations related to vehicle offenses, allowing individuals to contest liability through an adjudicative hearing if they file an affidavit and request a hearing within a specified timeframe. It prohibits arrest for nonpayment of fines and ensures that adjudications do not appear on criminal or driving records, treating civil violations as non-convictions that cannot influence insurance rates unless an accident occurred. The bill mandates municipalities to maintain statistical data on violations and allows individuals who pay fines to seek reimbursement from the actual vehicle operator. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
