Bill > HB2810

This bill amends the Texas Transportation Code to prohibit governmental entities (which includes the state, municipalities, counties, and districts) from implementing or operating automated traffic control systems to enforce speed limits on highways or streets under their jurisdiction. The bill expands the previous restriction that applied only to municipalities to now cover all types of governmental entities. Automated traffic control systems typically refer to speed cameras or red-light cameras that automatically capture and issue citations to drivers who exceed speed limits or run red lights. The attorney general is tasked with enforcing this prohibition. The new law will take effect on September 1, 2025, which gives governmental entities time to adjust their current traffic enforcement practices. By broadly defining "governmental entity" and universally banning automated speed enforcement systems, the bill aims to prevent the use of such technologies for speed limit enforcement across the entire state of Texas.
