§ 14660 Citation Authority For Violations

This law lets the secretary set up how to give tickets and fines for certain offenses, but only for specific violations listed in the statute, and it overrides some other government rules.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only certain violations can be cited under this authority.
  • •The secretary must follow the board's recommendation when creating citation procedures.
  • •These procedures do not follow the standard rules in Chapter 3.5 of the Government Code.

Example

A driver gets a traffic ticket for running a red light.

The ticket is issued under the authority of this law because running a red light falls under one of the listed violation sections, and the secretary's citation process is used instead of the usual government code rules.
