The bill establishes a framework for the use of automated litter enforcement systems, including provisions for penalties, which modifies existing regulations regarding the collection of fines and enforcement of vehicle-related infractions.

  • 42 Pa.C.S. § 3571

    No fine under this section shall be deemed a criminal conviction. → The fine shall not be subject to 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 3571 (relating to Commonwealth portion of fines, etc.) and 3573 (relating to municipal corporation portion of fines, etc.), or any other surcharges or fines not specifically authorized by this section.

    This eliminates the application of general fine distribution laws to penalties imposed under the new automated litter enforcement system.

  • 42 Pa.C.S. § 3571

    No fine under this section shall be made part of the operating record of the individual upon whom the penalty is imposed. → A penalty imposed under this section shall not: (i) Be deemed a criminal conviction. (ii) Be made part of the operating record of the individual upon whom the penalty is imposed under section 1535 (relating to schedule of convictions and points). (iii) Be the subject of merit rating for insurance purposes. (iv) Authorize imposition of surcharge points in the provision of motor vehicle insurance coverage.

    This specifies that penalties arising from the automated litter enforcement system will not affect driving records or insurance ratings.
