Clause 1 provides for the short title and coming into force of the legislation. Clause 2 adds new definitions for \u201camphibious ATV\u201d, \u201ccamera\u201d, \u201celectronic reading device\u201d, \u201celectronic tag\u201d, \u201cnew resident\u201d and \u201cspecial purpose vehicle\u201d. The clause amends the definitions  of \u201cresident\u201d and \u201cvisitor\u201d and expands the definition of \u201cpedal cycle\u201d. Clause 3 replaces references to the \u201cGovernor in Cabinet\u201d throughout the Law with references to \u201cCabinet\u201d, in line with the 2009 Constitution. Clause 4 amends section 6 to permit the Director to enter into agreements with insurers for  assistance in updating of the Register in respect to insurance coverage provided by them. Clause 5 amends section 8 to correct an erroneous reference. Clause 6 amends section 9 to prevent owners who are liable to pay arrears of fees or fines imposed under the Law from transferring their vehicles until the fees or fines are paid. Clause 7 amends section 10 to give the Director the discretion to consider the licence of a vehicle that has not been licensed for a year to be expired so that licence fees cease to accrue. Clause 8 amends section 11 to allow the importation of mokes and mini mokes and prevent the registration of passenger vehicles imported contrary to the Prohibited Goods Order. Clause 9 amends section 13 to incorporate section 15(1) respecting liability to pay fees into the section.  The clause adds an exemption from payment for persons who have been granted a suspension under section 15 and incorporates section 15(7) which provides for the payment of fees by a person who has been granted a suspension. Clause 10 amends section 14 to permit the issuance of vehicle licences for five years and to clarify the maximum periods for licences for various vehicles.  The The Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2018 clause exempts disabled persons and institutions supporting them from fees for the registration and licensing of one vehicle.  Finally the clause provides that fees may be backdated when a licence is renewed to cover any period between the expiry of the licence and renewal. Clause 11 amends section 15 by deleting the provisions on fees that were incorporated by clause 10 into section 13 and by setting the maximum period for suspension of a vehicle licence at ten years, subject to application to the Director for further extensions. Clause 12 amends section 18(2) to correct an erroneous cross-reference. Clause 13 amends section 21 to limit the issuance of trade plates to one year and to correct a mistaken reference in subsection (4).  The clause also adds a new subsection empowering the Director to request the holder of trade plates to surrender or renew them and makes it an offence to fail to comply with the Director\u2019s request. Clause 14 amends section 22 to correct a mistaken cross-reference in paragraph (j) and to allow regulations to be made for charging fees for duplicate receipts. Clause 15 adds a new Part 2A to the Law providing for Electronic VehicleRegistration.  Part 2A contains the following new sections - Section 22A provides for the issue of electronic tags for registered vehicles and for affixing them to vehicles. Section 22B authorises the Panel to install electronic reading devices at such locations as it determines necessary and for the Commissioner of Police to authorise constables to carry mobile reading devices. Section 22C provides for the gathering of evidence by camera and the recording, conversion and transmission of data from images captured by the camera. Section 22D provides for the admission of evidence gathered by a camera or electronic reading device in criminal proceedings and for its presentation in court.  The section presumes records or certificates signed by the Director to be validly signed, but allows the person against whom they are produced to cross-examine the signing official.  The section allows admission of such records or certificates in court only if a copy has been served before trial on the person charged. The Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2018 Section 22E sets out certain rules in respect of certificates or records referred to in section 22D and of certified extracts from the register. Section 22F presumes the owner of a vehicle to be guilty of an offence in respect of the vehicle where evidence of the offence is gathered by an electronic reading device or a camera and admitted in court and no evidence to the contrary is introduced by the owner.  The presumption may be rebutted where the owner proves that he was not in possession of the vehicle at the time of the offence, did not know of or consent to possession of the vehicle by another person and could not have prevented it. Section 22G empowers the Cabinet to make regulations concerning the types of cameras, electronic reading devices and electronic tags that can be used and the places on vehicles where electronic tags must be affixed. Section 22H sets out a number of offences concerning interfering with electronic tags, cameras or reading devices and using a vehicle that does not have an electronic tag affixed to it.  The section provides for a $10,000 penalty for persons convicted on summary conviction of such offences. Clause 16 amends section 25(b)(i) as a consequence of the renumbering of section 29 by clause 18. Clause 17 amends section 28 by renumbering it as section 29 and removing the requirements in subsections (2) to (7) for persons visiting the Islands to have visitors driving permits.  The new section 29 authorises a person from a nonConvention country to drive a motor car, a truck not exceeding 8500 pounds or a motor cycle under 125cc in the Islands for a maximum period of one month. The provisions in subsections (8) to (14) respecting international driver\u2019s permits are deleted and moved to the new section 29A. Clause 18 amends section 29 by renumbering it as section 28.  The clause amends the section to permit visitors or new residents to drive in the Islands for a period not exceeding six months on their international driving permit, or if they are from a Convention country, on their domestic driver\u2019s licence. Clause 19 inserts into the new section 29A and renumbers the provisions respecting international driver\u2019s permits formerly contained in sections 28(8) to (14).  The clause also broadens the reference in the former section 28(14) to the Convention on Road Traffic concluded in Geneva in 1949 to include the Conventions on Road Traffic concluded in Paris in 1926 and in Vienna in 1968. The Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2018 Clause 20 amends section 30 to extend the category of persons who may apply for renewals without taking driving tests to include those who hold a driver\u2019s licence that has expired within the preceding ten years, provided that they have held a licence from a Convention country during the period commencing five years after the expiry of their licence . Clause 21 amends section 41 by renumbering it as section 30A and providing that a driver\u2019s licence remains in force for 3, 5 or 10 years.  Section 30A provides for renewal during the 6 months before expiry of the licence and permits a person seeking renewal to have their renewed licence expire on their birthday. Clause 22 amends section 45(2) to change the membership of the Public Transport Board by substituting for the Director of the Civil Aviation Authority a representative of the Cayman Islands Airport Authority. Clause 23 amends section 47(1) in order to clarify that the prohibition against driving public passenger vehicles without a permit only applies to public passenger vehicles for hire. Clause 24 amends the heading to Part 5 to make the Part applicable to special purpose vehicles, as defined in the definition added by clause 2. Clause 25 amends section 53 to provide that special electric vehicles may be driven wherever the designated speed is thirty miles per hour or less and not just in a school zone.  The clause adds a new subsection to section 53 to restrict the driving of amphibious ATVs to routes designated by the Director and speeds of thirty-five miles per hour or less.  The clause also enlarges the offence provision in the subsection (2) so that it applies to a contravention of this new subsection. Clause 26 amends section 54 to make the provisions that formerly applied to special electric vehicles applicable to special purpose vehicles. Clause 27 amends section 55 to make the provisions that formerly applied to special electric vehicles applicable to special purpose vehicles. Clause 28 amends section 62 to set limits on the periods for which an inspector may issue a certificate of roadworthiness, depending on the age of the vehicle. Clause 29 amends section 63 to allow the owner of vehicle to submit it for inspection at any time in the month before the due date for renewal of the licence. Clause 30 inserts new section 77A into the Law to empower a constable to stop, seize or enter premises to search for a motorcycle or moped that is or was used in The Traffic (Amendment) Bill, 2018 a manner that is likely to cause alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public.  These powers would also apply where a motorcycle or moped is or was driven carelessly, dangerously or recklessly contrary to sections 76 or 77 of the Law.  The new section makes it an offence for a person who has been ordered to stop their motorcycle or moped not to comply with the order. Clause 31 amends section 94 to make the use of a special purpose vehicle in contravention of section 53 a ticketable offence.  The clause amends subsection (2) to require persons who wish to plead guilty and pay a ticket to do so before the date and time for the hearing of the charges. Clause 32 amends section 106 to give Cabinet the power to make regulations governing the removal, retention, release and disposal of motorcycles or mopeds seized under the new section 77A added by Clause 30. Clause 33 amends section 113 respecting removal of vehicles to the pound by broadening its scope to cover motorcycles and mopeds seized by a constable under the new section 77A added by Clause 30. Clause 34 amends section 123(2) to change a cross-reference in consequence of the renumbering of section 28 by clause 17. Clause 35 is a transitional provision providing a temporary amnesty for arrears of fees due in respect of vehicles whose registration is terminated before the coming into force of the Law or within six months after it comes into force.
