Bill > HB915

This bill establishes a new reporting requirement for county and municipal automated traffic enforcement programs in Maryland. These programs, which include monitoring systems for traffic signals, railroad crossings, school buses, stop signs, speed, work zones, bus lanes, noise, and vehicle height, must now submit quarterly reports to a designated coordinator about citations issued to out-of-state vehicles. The reports must include the registration plate number, state of registration, payment status, and whether the citation is past due. The reports must also provide a cumulative summary of citations issued to out-of-state vehicles, including how many have been paid and how many are past due. The bill appears to be part of an effort to improve tracking and accountability for traffic citations issued to vehicles registered in other states. Additionally, the bill renumbers some existing sections of the Transportation Article and is set to take effect on October 1, 2025. The bill removes a previous section that allowed the Attorney General or local State's Attorneys to bring civil actions against District of Columbia residents or vehicles for unpaid traffic citations, though the precise implications of this removal are not entirely clear from the provided text.
