SF 2062: Relating to data and alternative measures required prior to implementing automated or remote systems for traffic law enforcement, and including applicability provisions

What it does

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.
