Bill > HB988

This bill authorizes the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) to place and use speed monitoring systems on Maryland Route 200 (Intercounty Connector) in Montgomery County. The legislation modifies existing laws to specifically include the MDTA as an agency that can operate speed monitoring systems, which are devices that capture images of vehicles traveling at least 12 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. The bill requires the District Court to remit any civil penalties collected from citations issued by these speed monitoring systems directly to the MDTA, instead of to the state's general fund. Additionally, the bill mandates that the State Highway Administration provide the MDTA with access to its existing speed monitoring systems and vendor contacts to help the agency implement its speed monitoring program. The legislation also stipulates that the MDTA must follow similar regulatory requirements as local jurisdictions, such as publishing notice of camera locations, ensuring proper signage, and participating in training programs. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, with some sections contingent on the taking effect of certain termination provisions in other legislative acts.
