Bill > HR5525

This bill, known as the "Stop DC CAMERA Act," aims to repeal two specific traffic-related authorities currently held by the District of Columbia (DC). First, the bill would eliminate DC's ability to use automated traffic enforcement systems, which typically involve cameras that automatically capture and issue citations to vehicles that run red lights or speed. Second, the bill would remove DC's authority to install signs prohibiting right turns at red traffic signals. By repealing Section 9e of the District of Columbia Traffic Act and Title IX of the Fiscal Year 1997 Budget Support Act, the legislation effectively strips DC of these traffic management and enforcement capabilities. The bill suggests a desire to reduce what its sponsors likely view as overly restrictive traffic regulations and automated enforcement mechanisms in the nation's capital, potentially restoring more driver discretion and reducing automated traffic citations.
