96 having the authority and jurisdiction to enforce the traffic
97 laws of this state and within the particular school district as

99 Section 3. Section 316.0084, Florida Statutes, is created
100 to read:
101 316.0084 School Bus Safety Program; administration;
102 report.—
103 (1)(a) For purposes of administering this section, the
104 department, a county, or a municipality may authorize a traffic

112 the department, a county, or a municipality from issuing

120 $265 to the department, county, or municipality, or furnish an
121 affidavit in accordance with paragraph (d), within 30 days
122 following the date of the notification in order to avoid court
123 fees, costs, and the issuance of a traffic citation. The
124 notification shall be sent by first-class mail.
125 b. The notification under this paragraph must inform the
126 owner that he or she has the right to review the photographic or
127 electronic images or the streaming video evidence that

129 vehicle. The notice must state the time and place or Internet
130 location where the evidence may be examined and observed.

132 or a municipality under this section, less the amount retained

140 has failed to stop upon approaching any school bus which
141 displays a stop signal. Of that amount, $170 shall be remitted
142 to the school district in which the violation occurred, $65
143 shall be deposited into the Emergency Medical Services Trust
144 Fund of the Department of Health to be used as provided in s.
145 395.4036, $15 shall be remitted to the department, and $15 shall
146 be retained by the county or municipality issuing the notice or
147 citation or retained by the department if the department issued
148 the notice or citation.
149 (c)1.a. If payment has not been received within 30 days
150 after notification under subparagraph (b)1., a traffic citation
151 shall be issued by mailing the traffic citation by certified
152 mail to the address of the registered owner of the motor vehicle
153 involved in the violation.
154 b. Delivery of the traffic citation constitutes
155 notification under this paragraph.
156 c. In the case of joint ownership of a motor vehicle, the
157 traffic citation shall be mailed to the first name appearing on
158 the registration, unless the first name appearing on the
159 registration is a business organization, in which case the
160 second name appearing on the registration may be used.
161 d. The traffic citation shall be mailed to the registered
162 owner of the motor vehicle involved in the violation no later
163 than 45 days after the date of the violation.
164 2. The citation under this paragraph must include a notice
165 that the owner has the right to review, either in person or
166 remotely, the photographic or electronic images or the streaming
167 video evidence that constitutes a rebuttable presumption against
168 the owner of the vehicle. The notice must state the time and
169 place or Internet location where the evidence may be examined
170 and observed.
171 (d)1. The owner of the motor vehicle involved in the
172 violation is responsible and liable for paying the uniform
173 traffic citation issued for a violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or
174 s. 316.172(1)(b), unless the owner can establish that:
175 a. The motor vehicle passed the bus at the direction of a
176 law enforcement officer;
177 b. The motor vehicle was, at the time of the violation, in
178 the care, custody, or control of another person; or
179 c. A uniform traffic citation was issued by a law
180 enforcement officer to the driver of the motor vehicle for the
181 alleged violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or s. 316.172(1)(b).
182 2. In order to establish such facts, the owner of the motor
183 vehicle shall, within 30 days after the date of issuance of the
184 traffic citation, furnish to the appropriate governmental entity
185 an affidavit setting forth detailed information supporting an
186 exemption as provided in this paragraph.
187 a. An affidavit supporting an exemption under sub
188 subparagraph 1.b. must include the name, address, date of birth,
189 and, if known, the driver’s license number of the person who
190 leased, rented, or otherwise had care, custody, or control of
191 the motor vehicle at the time of the alleged violation. If the
192 vehicle was stolen at the time of the alleged offense, the
193 affidavit must include the police report indicating that the
194 vehicle was stolen.
195 b. If a traffic citation for a violation of s.
196 316.172(1)(a) or s. 316.172(1)(b) was issued at the location of
197 the violation by a law enforcement officer, the affidavit must
198 include the serial number of the uniform traffic citation.
199 3. Upon receipt of an affidavit supporting an exemption
200 under sub-subparagraph 1.b., the person designated as having
201 care, custody, and control of the motor vehicle at the time of
202 the violation may be issued a traffic citation for a violation
203 of s. 316.172(1)(a) or s. 316.172(1)(b) when the driver failed
204 to stop upon approaching any school bus which displays a stop
205 signal. The affidavit is admissible in a proceeding pursuant to
206 this section for the purpose of providing proof that the person
207 identified in the affidavit was in actual care, custody, or
208 control of the motor vehicle. The owner of a leased vehicle for
209 which a traffic citation is issued for a violation of s.
210 316.172(1)(a) or s. 316.172(1)(b) is not responsible for paying
211 the traffic citation and is not required to submit an affidavit
212 as specified in this subsection if the motor vehicle involved in
213 the violation is registered in the name of the lessee of such
214 motor vehicle.
215 4. The submission of a false affidavit is a misdemeanor of
216 the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s.
217 775.083.
218 (e) The photographic or electronic images or streaming
219 video attached to or referenced in the traffic citation is
220 evidence that a violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or s.
221 316.172(1)(b) has occurred and is admissible in any proceeding
222 to enforce this section and raises a rebuttable presumption that
223 the motor vehicle named in the report or shown in the
224 photographic or electronic images or streaming video evidence
225 was used in violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or s. 316.172(b).
226 (2) This section supplements the enforcement of s.
227 316.172(1)(a) or s. 316.172(1)(b) and does not prohibit a law
228 enforcement officer from issuing a traffic citation for a
229 violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or s. 316.172(1)(b).
230 (3)(a) Each school district that deploys a school bus
231 traffic infraction detector shall submit a report by October 1,
232 2013, and annually thereafter, to the department which details
233 the results of using the school bus traffic infraction detector

245 necessary legislation. The summary report must include a review
246 of the information submitted to the department by the counties
247 and municipalities and must describe the enhancement of the
248 traffic safety and enforcement programs.

265 (5) of section 316.640, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
266 316.640 Enforcement.—The enforcement of the traffic laws of
267 this state is vested as follows:
268 (1) STATE.—
269 (b)1. The Department of Transportation has authority to
270 enforce on all the streets and highways of this state all laws
271 applicable within its authority.
272 2.a. The Department of Transportation shall develop
273 training and qualifications standards for toll enforcement
274 officers whose sole authority is to enforce the payment of tolls
275 pursuant to s. 316.1001. Nothing in this subparagraph shall be
276 construed to permit the carrying of firearms or other weapons,
277 nor shall a toll enforcement officer have arrest authority.
278 b. For the purpose of enforcing s. 316.1001, governmental
279 entities, as defined in s. 334.03, which own or operate a toll
280 facility may employ independent contractors or designate
281 employees as toll enforcement officers; however, any such toll
282 enforcement officer must successfully meet the training and
283 qualifications standards for toll enforcement officers
284 established by the Department of Transportation.
285 3. For the purpose of enforcing s. 316.0083 or s. 316.0084,
286 the department may designate employees as traffic infraction
287 enforcement officers. A traffic infraction enforcement officer
288 must successfully complete instruction in traffic enforcement
289 procedures and court presentation through the Selective Traffic
290 Enforcement Program as approved by the Division of Criminal
291 Justice Standards and Training of the Department of Law
292 Enforcement, or through a similar program, but may not
293 necessarily otherwise meet the uniform minimum standards
294 established by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training
295 Commission for law enforcement officers or auxiliary law
296 enforcement officers under s. 943.13. This subparagraph does not
297 authorize the carrying of firearms or other weapons by a traffic
298 infraction enforcement officer and does not authorize a traffic
299 infraction enforcement officer to make arrests. The department’s
300 traffic infraction enforcement officers must be physically
301 located in the state.
302 (5)(a) Any sheriff’s department or police department of a
303 municipality may employ, as a traffic infraction enforcement

306 the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program as approved by the
307 Division of Criminal Justice Standards and Training of the
308 Department of Law Enforcement, or through a similar program, but
309 who does not necessarily otherwise meet the uniform minimum
310 standards established by the Criminal Justice Standards and
311 Training Commission for law enforcement officers or auxiliary
312 law enforcement officers under s. 943.13. Any such traffic
313 infraction enforcement officer who observes the commission of a
314 traffic infraction or, in the case of a parking infraction, who
315 observes an illegally parked vehicle may issue a traffic
316 citation for the infraction when, based upon personal
317 investigation, he or she has reasonable and probable grounds to
318 believe that an offense has been committed which constitutes a
319 noncriminal traffic infraction as defined in s. 318.14. In
320 addition, any such traffic infraction enforcement officer may
321 issue a traffic citation under s. 316.0083 or s. 316.0084. For
322 purposes of enforcing s. 316.0083 or s. 316.0084, any sheriff’s
323 department or police department of a municipality may designate
324 employees as traffic infraction enforcement officers. The
325 traffic infraction enforcement officers must be physically
326 located in the county of the respective sheriff’s or police
327 department.
328 (b) The traffic infraction enforcement officer shall be
329 employed in relationship to a selective traffic enforcement
330 program at a fixed location or as part of a crash investigation
331 team at the scene of a vehicle crash or in other types of
332 traffic infraction enforcement under the direction of a fully
333 qualified law enforcement officer; however, it is not necessary
334 that the traffic infraction enforcement officer’s duties be
335 performed under the immediate supervision of a fully qualified
336 law enforcement officer.
337 (c) This subsection does not permit the carrying of
338 firearms or other weapons, nor do traffic infraction enforcement
339 officers have arrest authority other than the authority to issue
340 a traffic citation as provided in this subsection.
341 Section 7. Subsection (3) of section 316.650, Florida
342 Statutes, is amended to read:
343 316.650 Traffic citations.—
344 (3)(a) Except for a traffic citation issued pursuant to s.
345 316.1001, or s. 316.0083, or s. 316.0084, each traffic
346 enforcement officer, upon issuing a traffic citation to an
347 alleged violator of any provision of the motor vehicle laws of
348 this state or of any traffic ordinance of any municipality or
349 town, shall deposit the original traffic citation or, in the
350 case of a traffic enforcement agency that has an automated
351 citation issuance system, the chief administrative officer shall
352 provide by an electronic transmission a replica of the citation
353 data to a court having jurisdiction over the alleged offense or
354 with its traffic violations bureau within 5 days after issuance

360 electronic transmission a replica of the citation data to a
361 court having jurisdiction over the alleged offense or with its
362 traffic violations bureau within 45 days after the date of
363 issuance of the citation to the violator. If the person cited
364 for the violation of s. 316.1001 makes the election provided by
365 s. 318.14(12) and pays the $25 fine, or such other amount as
366 imposed by the governmental entity owning the applicable toll
367 facility, plus the amount of the unpaid toll that is shown on
368 the traffic citation directly to the governmental entity that
369 issued the citation, or on whose behalf the citation was issued,
370 in accordance with s. 318.14(12), the traffic citation will not
371 be submitted to the court, the disposition will be reported to
372 the department by the governmental entity that issued the
373 citation, or on whose behalf the citation was issued, and no
374 points will be assessed against the person’s driver’s license.
375 (c) If a traffic citation is issued under s. 316.0083 or s.
376 316.0084, the traffic infraction enforcement officer shall
377 provide by electronic transmission a replica of the traffic
378 citation data to the court having jurisdiction over the alleged
379 offense or its traffic violations bureau within 5 days after the
380 date of issuance of the traffic citation to the violator.

382 Statutes, is amended to read:

387 mandatory hearing listed in s. 318.19 or any other criminal
388 traffic violation listed in chapter 316 must sign and accept a
389 citation indicating a promise to appear. The officer may
390 indicate on the traffic citation the time and location of the
391 scheduled hearing and must indicate the applicable civil penalty
392 established in s. 318.18. For all other infractions under this
393 section, except for infractions under s. 316.1001, the officer
394 must certify by electronic, electronic facsimile, or written
395 signature that the citation was delivered to the person cited.
396 This certification is prima facie evidence that the person cited
397 was served with the citation.

399 Statutes, is amended to read:
