   1.  By striking everything after the enacting clause and inserting: 
   Section 1.  NEW SECTION.  321.492C  Use of automated or remote systems for traffic law enforcement prohibited.
   The state or a political subdivision of the state shall not place or cause to be placed on or adjacent to a highway, or maintain or employ the use of, any automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement. For the purposes of this section, “automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement” means a camera or other optical device designed to work in conjunction with an official traffic control signal or speed detection equipment to identify motor vehicles operating in violation of traffic laws, the use of which results in the issuance of civil infractions sent through the mail or by electronic means.

Effective July 1, 2017, all local ordinances authorizing the use of automated or remote systems for traffic law enforcement are void. However, any notice of violation mailed or any citation issued pursuant to such an ordinance prior to July 1, 2017, shall not be invalidated by the enactment of this Act and shall be processed according to the provisions of the law under which it was authorized.
   Sec. 3.  EFFECTIVE UPON ENACTMENT.  The section of this Act relating to the removal of automated or remote systems for traffic law enforcement and the validity of prior notices and citations, being deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.>
   2.  Title page, by striking lines 1 and 2 and inserting <An Act prohibiting the use of automated or remote systems for traffic law enforcement, requiring removal of existing systems, and including effective date provisions.>
