This bill amends several sections of Nebraska's traffic laws to allow for the enforcement of red light violations using automatic license plate reader systems. It introduces a new definition for "red light violation" and outlines the conditions under which local authorities can utilize these systems. Specifically, violators will have the option to either pay a fee or participate in a driver's safety training program, with the fee waived if they choose the latter. Additionally, no points will be assessed for the violation, and no warrants will be issued for failure to pay or participate in the program. If a person fails to complete the training or pay the fee, they must pay it to the county treasurer as a condition for renewing their vehicle registration.

The bill also modifies the existing driver's safety training program by allowing for a waiver of the program fee under certain conditions. It harmonizes various provisions related to traffic violations and the point system, ensuring that red light violations are included in the assessment of points against a driver's record. The bill repeals original sections of the law that are being amended, thereby streamlining the enforcement process and updating the legal framework surrounding traffic violations in Nebraska.
