15B-2.013: Approved Speed Measuring Devices
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed rule action is to amend the current rule to reflect the revision of form DHSMV 61071 – Laser Speed Measuring Device Certification – to include the testing of intermittent laser pulses. Since the form and revision date are specifically referenced in paragraph 15B-2.016(2)(d), F.A.C., a revision to the form will also require a revision to this section of the Florida Administrative Code. An amendment to paragraphs 15B-2.013(5)(b), (d), F.A.C., is needed to add those laser devices approved since the last revision. Furthermore, since the last revision of the Chapter 15B-2, F.A.C., additional radar speed measuring devices have been approved for use in the State of Florida. Rule 15B-2.013, F.A.C., “Approved Speed Measuring Devices” will be amended to add those devices approved since the last revision. In addition, Rule 15B-2.013, F.A.C., “Approved Speed Measuring Devices” will be amended by changing the reference number or letter to each currently listed speed measuring device for ease of reference. Also, paragraph 15B-2.013(1)(g), F.A.C., will be amended to reflect CMI/MPH Industries, Inc., to be included as a corporate name for M.P.H. Industries Inc., or CMI/MPH. Lastly, paragraph 15B-2.013(5)(d), F.A.C., will be amended to reflect Laser Atlanta, LLC, to be included as a corporate name for Laser Atlanta Optics, Inc.
