Ivey HB No. 474
Abstract: Prohibits a state agency, political subdivision, or any law enforcement agency from
reporting to a credit reporting agency an individual's unpaid fines for traffic violations
which are based solely on evidence from a traffic camera or an unmanned radar device.
Present law prohibits the record of a conviction for a traffic violation which is based solely on
evidence from a traffic camera from being forwarded to the Dept. of Public Safety and
Corrections and from being made a part of any person's driving record.
Proposed law adds convictions based on evidence from unmanned radar devices to present law
and prohibits state agencies or political subdivisions, or any law enforcement agency of either, or
any officer, official, or employee thereof, from transferring, disseminating, distributing, or
otherwise communicating a record or other compilation of an individual's unpaid fines for traffic
violations based solely on evidence from a traffic camera or an unmanned radar device to any
credit bureau, collection agency or firm, credit information agency or bureau, or a subsidiary
entity operating such a business in this state.
Proposed law provides that this Act has prospective and retroactive effect.
