Bill > HB1955

This bill codifies and expands prohibitions on law enforcement quotas and introduces a pilot program for radar enforcement systems in Pennsylvania. It establishes new legal provisions that prevent political subdivisions, regional police departments, and Commonwealth agencies from mandating specific numbers of citations that enforcement officers must issue, and prohibits "station averaging" where an officer's performance is evaluated by comparing their citation numbers to other officers. The bill also creates a detailed radar enforcement systems pilot program that allows full-time police officers to use electronic speed monitoring devices under specific conditions, such as completing approved training, operating from marked vehicles, and posting warning signs. Additionally, the bill modifies point systems for traffic violations, ensuring that radar-detected speeding violations have specific restrictions, such as only applying to speeds over 10 miles per hour above the posted limit. The radar enforcement pilot program includes requirements for local ordinances, annual reporting, revenue limitations, and includes a sunset provision expiring on December 31, 2029. Importantly, the bill specifies that citations issued in violation of the new quota prohibition will be considered null and void, providing a clear mechanism for enforcement of these new rules.
