House Bill No. [insert number] enacts new provisions under R.S. 32:232(3)(e), (f), and (g) to establish increased penalties for traffic-control signal violations, specifically for red light infractions. The bill introduces a tiered penalty system based on the severity of the violation's consequences. If a red light violation results in injury to another person, the offender faces a fine ranging from $200 to $500 and may have their driver's license suspended for 90 days. For serious bodily injury, the penalties increase to a fine of $500 to $1,000, possible imprisonment for up to six months, and a driver's license suspension for 180 days.

In cases where a red light violation leads to the death of another person, the offender is subject to a fine between $1,000 and $5,000, imprisonment for up to one year, and a potential driver's license suspension for up to 365 days. These new provisions aim to enhance road safety by imposing stricter penalties on offenders who cause harm through traffic violations.
