Bill > SB1485

This bill appropriates $5,000,000 from the State Highway Fund to the Automated Speed Enforcement Systems Program Special Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026, with the funds to be used by the Department of Transportation to establish and maintain an automated speed enforcement systems program. The bill includes a special provision allowing the appropriation to remain available beyond the typical fiscal year lapse date, with any unexpended funds set to return to the State Highway Fund by June 30, 2029. Specifically, the bill transfers $5,000,000 into the special fund and then immediately appropriates those same funds for program purposes, effectively creating a dedicated funding mechanism for an automated speed enforcement program. The bill is designed to take effect on July 1, 2025, and provides the Department of Transportation with flexibility in spending the allocated funds for developing and implementing speed enforcement systems, which likely involve automated cameras or other technology to detect and document speeding violations.
