What’s in it

This bill requires that, prior to implementing an automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement (ATE system), the state or a local authority must produce and retain data that establishes the need for an ATE system to improve safety and implement at least one alternative measure to improve safety at the specific location where the ATE system will be used. An alternative measure must be in place for at least six months prior to implementation of the ATE system. The state or local authority must also hold no fewer than two public hearings to discuss the data and whether an ATE system is necessary when compared to the ability of alternative measures to improve safety.

Read the full explanation

The state or local authority must make available to any person upon request the data and details of alternative measures required under the bill. The bill defines “automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement” and makes any citation or other claim for payment resulting from an interaction with an ATE system operated in violation of the bill void and unenforceable. The bill generally applies to ATE systems on and after July 1, 2022, but applies on and after January 1, 2023, to ATE systems installed and in operation prior to July 1, 2022. January 1, 2023, is considered the implementation date for such ATE systems.
