Specifies the conditions and circumstances under which a device installed on one of those vehicles may be operated. Provides that violation of the provision is a Class A misdemeanor.

Provides that a manufacturer or retailer may not sell a device to any person or entity for any intended use other than operation as permitted under the provision. Provides that a violation of this prohibition is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $5,000 in addition to any other penalty.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
