House Bill No. by Representative McMakin amends existing law regarding the operation of motor vehicles on the right side of highways in Louisiana. The bill introduces provisions that allow law enforcement officers to utilize fleet camera systems to capture audio and visual recordings of vehicles violating traffic regulations on multilane highways. This system enables officers to issue citations without needing to pull over the offending vehicle. The bill also establishes that citations can be sent by mail and outlines an administrative hearing process for drivers to appeal these citations.

Additionally, the bill specifies that citations must include an attestation section on the back, allowing the recipient to declare whether they were the vehicle's owner at the time of the violation or if the vehicle was under someone else's control. The fines collected from these violations will be directed to the Louisiana office of state police. The bill further defines "fleet camera system" and mandates public awareness campaigns to inform motorists about these new provisions. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance traffic enforcement while providing a structured process for citation management and appeals.
