Summary

The bill eliminates the current exemption that protects vehicle‑rental and leasing firms, as well as cars with special registration plates, from civil penalties when a traffic‑signal or speed‑monitoring camera records a violation. After the change, owners or drivers of those vehicles can be fined unless a police officer issues a citation at the time. The goal is to hold rental companies accountable for automated traffic violations.
