Bill > SF2026

This bill establishes a traffic safety camera pilot program in Minnesota that allows for the use of red light camera systems and speed safety camera systems to enforce traffic violations. The key provisions include: - Defining the parameters of the pilot program, including the authorities and locations that can implement the systems, the placement requirements, and the public engagement and notice requirements. - Establishing a uniform citation process, with a traffic enforcement agent having the authority to issue citations for violations identified through the camera systems. - Specifying data practices and retention requirements for the camera system data. - Requiring an independent evaluation of the pilot program and reporting to the legislature. - Appropriating funding for the pilot program and evaluation. The bill aims to improve traffic safety through the use of these camera-based enforcement systems, while also establishing safeguards and oversight for their implementation.
