Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow Kentucky agencies to use camera systems at traffic signals to record vehicles that run red lights, with a $50 civil penalty for violations. Penalties would be handled through a civil process rather than a traditional traffic ticket, meaning no points would be added to a driver's record. Vehicle registration could be suspended if a person refuses to pay the fine and does not appear to contest the citation. Who it may affect: drivers and vehicle owners across Kentucky.
