Explanation
The bill designates certain equipment-related and administrative
motor vehicle violations as secondary violations and prohibits law
enforcement officers from stopping a motor vehicle only to enforce one
of these violations, resulting in a potential revenue loss to the state and
municipal police departments, depending on the number of citations
resulting from vehicles that previously would have been stopped solely
for such violations.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of violations.
