(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the traffic code ordinances of the Village, the Village hereby adopts a civil enforcement program for officer-enforced traffic law system violations as outlined in this chapter. This program imposes monetary liability on the owner of a vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to strictly comply with the posted speed limit on streets or highways within the Village. The imposition of liability under this chapter shall not be deemed a conviction for any purpose and shall not be made part of the operating record of any person upon whom the liability is imposed.
(b) The Chief of Police shall be responsible for administering the officer-enforced traffic law system.
(c) A traffic law violation for which a civil penalty is imposed under this chapter is not a moving violation and points shall not be assessed against a person's driver's license. In no case shall such a violation be reported to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles or motor vehicle registration bureau, department, or office of any other state, nor shall such a violation be recorded on the driving record of the owner or operator of the vehicle involved in the violation.
(d) The Village may utilize an Officer-Operated Handheld Traffic Law Enforcement Device for the purpose of detecting traffic law violations. Village Council may adopt such resolutions as may be necessary to enable the Village to utilize Officer-Operated Handheld Traffic Law Enforcement Devices.
