A notice of liability must now include the owner's name and address, vehicle registration number, location, date and time of the violation, camera identification number, and at least two date and time stamped images of the rear of the vehicle. If any required information is missing, omitted, or illegible, the violation will be dismissed upon application of the person alleged to be liable. The amendments take effect immediately, but the repealed section will be deemed repealed.
