   72  ascribed to them in this section, except where the context
   73  otherwise requires:
   74         (89) SCHOOL BUS TRAFFIC INFRACTION DETECTOR.—A vehicle
   75  sensor installed to work in conjunction with a school bus and a
   76  camera or cameras synchronized to automatically record two or
   77  more sequenced photographic or electronic images or streaming
   78  video of a motor vehicle at the time the vehicle passes a school
   79  bus in violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b). Any notification
   80  under s. 316.0084(1)(b) or traffic citation issued by the use of
   81  a school bus traffic infraction detector must include a
   82  photograph, video feed, or other recorded image showing both the
   83  license tag of the offending vehicle and the school bus stop
   84  signal being violated.

   86  Florida Statutes, to read:

   89  infraction detectors on its school buses for purposes of
   90  enforcing s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b) when a driver fails to stop
   91  upon approaching any school bus that displays a stop signal. A
   92  school district deploying school bus traffic infraction
   93  detectors must coordinate the issuing of traffic citations with
   94  the Florida Highway Patrol, the local sheriff’s office, the
   95  local police department, the local school board, if applicable,
   96  or other entity having the authority and jurisdiction to enforce
   97  the traffic laws of this state and within the particular school
   98  district as provided in ss. 316.006 and 316.640.
   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
  105  infraction enforcement officer under s. 316.640 to issue a
  106  traffic citation for a violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b).
  107  This paragraph does not prohibit a review of information from a
  108  traffic infraction detector by an authorized employee or agent
  109  of the department, a county, or a municipality before issuance
  110  of the traffic citation by the traffic infraction enforcement
  111  officer. This paragraph does not prohibit the department, a
  112  county, or a municipality from issuing notification as provided
  113  in paragraph (b) to the registered owner of the motor vehicle
  114  involved in the violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b).
  115         (b)1.a. Within 10 days after a violation, notification
  116  shall be sent to the registered owner of the motor vehicle
  117  involved in the violation specifying the remedies available
  118  under s. 318.14 and that the violator must pay the penalty of
  119  $265 to the department, county, or municipality, or furnish an
  120  affidavit in accordance with paragraph (d), within 30 days
  121  following the date of the notification in order to avoid court
  122  fees, costs, and the issuance of a traffic citation. The
  123  notification shall be sent by first-class mail.
  124         b. The notification under this paragraph must inform the
  125  owner that he or she has the right to review the photographic or
  126  electronic images or the streaming video evidence that
  127  constitutes a rebuttable presumption against the owner of the
  128  vehicle. The notice must state the time and place or Internet
  129  location where the evidence may be examined and observed.
  130         2. Penalty amounts collected by the department, a county,
  131  or a municipality under this section, less the amount retained
  132  by the department, county, or municipality pursuant to
  133  subparagraph 3., shall be remitted to the Department of Revenue
  134  each week by means of electronic funds transfer. In addition to
  135  the payment, summary detail of the penalty amounts remitted
  136  shall be reported to the Department of Revenue.
  137         3. A penalty amount of $265 shall be assessed for a
  138  violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b) when a driver has failed to
  139  stop upon approaching any school bus that displays a stop
  140  signal. Of that amount, $170 shall be remitted to the school
  141  district in which the violation occurred, $65 shall be deposited

  143  of Health to be used as provided in s. 395.4036, $15 shall be
  144  remitted to the department, and $15 shall be retained by the
  145  county or municipality issuing the notice or citation or
  146  retained by the department if the department issued the notice
  147  or citation.
  148         (c)1.a. If payment has not been received within 30 days
  149  after notification under subparagraph (b)1., a traffic citation
  150  shall be issued by mailing the traffic citation by certified
  151  mail to the address of the registered owner of the motor vehicle
  152  involved in the violation.
  153         b. Delivery of the traffic citation constitutes
  154  notification under this paragraph.
  155         c. In the case of joint ownership of a motor vehicle, the
  156  traffic citation shall be mailed to the first name appearing on
  157  the registration, unless the first name appearing on the
  158  registration is a business organization, in which case the
  159  second name appearing on the registration may be used.
  160         d. The traffic citation shall be mailed to the registered
  161  owner of the motor vehicle involved in the violation no later
  162  than 45 days after the date of the violation.
  163         2. The citation under this paragraph must include a notice
  164  that the owner has the right to review, in person or remotely,
  165  the photographic or electronic images or the streaming video
  166  evidence that constitutes a rebuttable presumption against the
  167  owner of the vehicle. The notice must state the time and place
  168  or Internet location where the evidence may be examined and
  169  observed.
  170         (d)1. The owner of the motor vehicle involved in the
  171  violation is responsible and liable for paying the uniform
  172  traffic citation issued for a violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or
  173  (b), unless the owner can establish that:
  174         a. The motor vehicle passed the bus at the direction of a
  175  law enforcement officer;
  176         b. The motor vehicle was, at the time of the violation, in
  177  the care, custody, or control of another person; or
  178         c. A uniform traffic citation was issued by a law
  179  enforcement officer to the driver of the motor vehicle for the
  180  alleged violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b).
  181         2. In order to establish such facts, the owner of the motor
  182  vehicle shall, within 30 days after the date of issuance of the
  183  traffic citation, furnish to the appropriate governmental entity
  184  an affidavit setting forth detailed information supporting an
  185  exemption as provided in this paragraph.
  186         a. An affidavit supporting an exemption under sub
  187  subparagraph 1.b. must include the name, address, date of birth,
  188  and, if known, the driver’s license number of the person who
  189  leased, rented, or otherwise had care, custody, or control of
  190  the motor vehicle at the time of the alleged violation. If the
  191  vehicle was stolen at the time of the alleged offense, the
  192  affidavit must include the police report indicating that the
  193  vehicle was stolen.
  194         b. If a traffic citation for a violation of s.
  195  316.172(1)(a) or (b) was issued at the location of the violation
  196  by a law enforcement officer, the affidavit must include the
  197  serial number of the uniform traffic citation.
  198         3. Upon receipt of an affidavit supporting an exemption
  199  under sub-subparagraph 1.b., the person designated as having
  200  care, custody, and control of the motor vehicle at the time of
  201  the violation may be issued a traffic citation for a violation
  202  of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b) when the driver failed to stop upon
  203  approaching any school bus that displays a stop signal. The
  204  affidavit is admissible in a proceeding pursuant to this section
  205  for the purpose of providing proof that the person identified in
  206  the affidavit was in actual care, custody, or control of the
  207  motor vehicle. The owner of a leased vehicle for which a traffic
  208  citation is issued for a violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b) is
  209  not responsible for paying the traffic citation and is not
  210  required to submit an affidavit as specified in this subsection
  211  if the motor vehicle involved in the violation is registered in
  212  the name of the lessee of such motor vehicle.
  213         4. The submission of a false affidavit is a misdemeanor of
  214  the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s.
  215  775.083.
  216         (e) The photographic or electronic images or streaming
  217  video attached to or referenced in the traffic citation is
  218  evidence that a violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b) has
  219  occurred and is admissible in any proceeding to enforce this
  220  section and raises a rebuttable presumption that the motor
  221  vehicle named in the report or shown in the photographic or
  222  electronic images or streaming video evidence was used in
  223  violation of s. 316.172(1)(a) or (b).
  224         (2) This section supplements the enforcement of s.
  225  316.172(1)(a) and (b) and does not prohibit a law enforcement
  226  officer from issuing a traffic citation for a violation of s.
  227  316.172(1)(a) or (b).
  228         (3)(a) Each school district that deploys a school bus
  229  traffic infraction detector shall submit a report by October 1,
  230  2014, and annually thereafter, to the department which details
  231  the results of using the school bus traffic infraction detector
  232  and the procedures for enforcement for the preceding state
  233  fiscal year. The information submitted by counties and
  234  municipalities must include statistical data and information
  235  required by the department to complete the report required under
  236  paragraph (b).
  237         (b) On or before December 31, 2014, and annually
  238  thereafter, the department shall provide a summary report to the
  239  Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the
  240  House of Representatives regarding the use and operation of
  241  traffic infraction detectors under this section, along with the
  242  department’s recommendations and recommendations for any
  243  necessary legislation. The summary report must include a review
  244  of the information submitted to the department by counties and
  245  municipalities and must describe the enhancement of the traffic
  246  safety and enforcement programs.
  247         Section 4. Section 316.07457, Florida Statutes, is created
  248  to read:
  249         316.07457 Implementation.—Any school bus traffic infraction
  250  detector deployed by a school district on one or more of the
  251  buses in its fleet must meet specifications established by the
  252  department and must be tested at regular intervals according to
  253  specifications prescribed by the department. The department
  254  shall establish such specifications by December 31, 2012.
  255         Section 5. Section 316.0777, Florida Statutes, is created
  256  to read:
  257         316.0777 School bus traffic infraction detectors; placement
  258  and installation.—School bus traffic infraction detectors are
  259  allowed on the school buses of school districts when permitted
  260  by the department and under placement and installation
  261  specifications developed by the department.
  262         Section 6. Paragraph (b) of subsection (1) and subsection
  263  (5) of section 316.640, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  264         316.640 Enforcement.—The enforcement of the traffic laws of
  265  this state is vested as follows:
  266         (1) STATE.—
  267         (b)1. The Department of Transportation has authority to
  268  enforce on all the streets and highways of this state all laws
  269  applicable within its authority.
  270         2.a. The Department of Transportation shall develop
  271  training and qualifications standards for toll enforcement
  272  officers whose sole authority is to enforce the payment of tolls
  273  pursuant to s. 316.1001. Nothing in This subparagraph does not
  274  authorize a toll enforcement officer to carry a firearm shall be
  275  construed to permit the carrying of firearms or other weapons
  276  and does not authorize, nor shall a toll enforcement officer to
  277  make arrests 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
  304  officer, any individual who successfully completes instruction
  305  in traffic enforcement procedures and court presentation through
  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
  355  to the violator.
  356         (b) If a traffic citation is issued pursuant to s.
  357  316.1001, a traffic enforcement officer may deposit the original
  358  traffic citation or, in the case of a traffic enforcement agency
  359  that has an automated citation system, may provide by an
  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
