Bill > HB684

This bill addresses photographic traffic signal enforcement systems by adding a new section to the Texas Transportation Code that renders any contract violating the existing chapter automatically void. Specifically, the bill introduces Section 707.022, which states that contracts related to traffic signal enforcement systems that do not comply with current law will be considered invalid. The bill also repeals certain provisions from a previous legislative act (H.B. 1631 from the 86th Legislature in 2019) and includes a standard legislative provision about the bill's effective date. If the bill receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers, it will take effect immediately; otherwise, it will become law on September 1, 2025. This appears to be a measure aimed at strengthening regulations around traffic enforcement contracts and ensuring that such agreements strictly adhere to existing legal standards.
