Bill > SB1072

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to expand the definition of "municipality" in the context of automated red light enforcement systems by adding counties of the second class to the list of entities that can implement such systems. Automated red light enforcement systems are camera-based technologies that automatically detect and photograph vehicles that run red lights, with the goal of improving traffic safety and reducing intersection violations. The term "county of the second class" typically refers to a specific classification of counties in Pennsylvania based on population size, though the precise population range is not specified in this bill text. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its enactment, which would give local governments time to prepare for potential implementation of these automated enforcement systems. By broadening the definition of municipalities eligible to use these systems, the bill potentially allows more local jurisdictions to deploy red light cameras as a traffic safety measure.
