This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding civil traffic violations and misdemeanor criminal offenses generated by photo enforcement systems. Under the new provisions, any citation issued for such violations must be signed by the presiding judge of the court adjudicating the matter. The bill allows for the possibility of electronic signatures by the presiding judge.

If a citation is not signed by the presiding judge, it must be dismissed, and the court is required to notify the individual charged with the violation that the citation has been dismissed due to the lack of the judge's signature. This update aims to ensure judicial oversight in the issuance of citations generated by automated systems, enhancing the legal process surrounding traffic violations.
