House Bill No. [insert number] enacts new provisions under R.S. 32:232(3) regarding penalties for traffic-control signal violations, specifically focusing on red light infractions. The bill introduces three new subsections (e), (f), and (g) that establish increased penalties based on the severity of the consequences resulting from the violation. For instance, if a red light violation leads to injury, the offender faces fines ranging from $200 to $500 and may have their driver's license suspended for 90 days. If the violation results in serious bodily injury, the fines increase to between $500 and $1,000, with potential imprisonment for up to six months and a 180-day license suspension.

Furthermore, if a red light violation causes the death of another person, the penalties escalate significantly, imposing fines of $1,000 to $5,000, imprisonment for up to one year, and a possible driver's license suspension for up to 365 days. These changes aim to enhance road safety by holding offenders accountable for the consequences of their actions at traffic signals.
