AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of photographic traffic signal enforcement systems by local authorities in Texas. It amends the Transportation Code to prohibit the implementation or operation of such systems, as well as the issuance of any civil or criminal charges based on evidence from these systems.

However, it includes a provision allowing local authorities that had already implemented such systems before May 7, 2019 to continue operating them until the expiration of their existing contracts.
