What’s in it
Under current law, a local authority is prohibited from using an automated or remote system for traffic law enforcement (system) unless the local authority holds a valid permit issued by the department of transportation (DOT) to use a system at the system’s location. A local authority that holds a permit to use a system at a fixed location must erect permanent signs giving notice of the system at least 500 feet but not more than 1,000 feet along the approach of the highway where the system is used.
Read the full explanation
A local authority that holds a permit to use a mobile system must post permanent signs at every location where a highway enters the boundaries of the local authority giving notice of the local authority’s use of a mobile system within the boundaries of the local authority. This bill prohibits a local authority that does not hold a valid permit to use a system from erecting or posting signs giving notice that a system is used. A local authority is subject to a $1,000 civil penalty for each day a violation occurs. The DOT is required to assess the civil penalty and deposit the moneys collected for violations in the road use tax fund.
