First, this bill seeks to penalize a person who commits the offense of operating a motor vehicle with a fraudulent license plate with an intent to obscure or misrepresent the identity of a vehicle or its owner.

This current version of this bill provides that speed cameras in school zones may be enforced one hour prior to the school's official start time and throughout the school day, and one hour after the school's official dismissal time and when such violations are in excess of ten miles per hour over the speed limit. 

This bill also provides that prior to the placement of a speed camera in a school zone, the local governing body authorized to enforce the speed limit, shall apply for and secure a permit from the Department of Transportation. 

This bill requires that school zones are properly marked with warning signs while the reduction of the speed limit for the school zone is in effect and shall include flashing lights during the time when the automated traffic is authorized to issue citations. 

Any agent, law enforcement agency, or governing body found to have intentionally violated the use of speed cameras in school zones, shall be assessed a fine of $2,500 for the first violation and $5,000 for the second violation. The commissioner of public safety is authorized to suspend all speed detection permits for a third violation. 

This bill also includes speed cameras in school zones when calculating speeding offenses revenue for law enforcement agencies.
