Bill > HB06699

This bill amends existing statutes to establish clear guidelines for speed camera enforcement by introducing three key provisions: First, speeding infractions can only be issued to the actual driver operating the vehicle at the time of the speed violation, not the vehicle's owner. Second, a speeding violation cannot be enforced if the issuing jurisdiction cannot definitively prove who was driving the vehicle when the speed violation occurred. Third, the burden of proof for identifying the specific driver rests with the issuing jurisdiction, meaning government authorities must provide conclusive evidence of the driver's identity before a speeding ticket can be legally issued. These provisions aim to ensure fairness in speed camera enforcement by requiring a higher standard of proof and preventing automatic citations sent to vehicle owners without clear evidence of their direct responsibility for the speed violation.
