Bill > SB1166

This bill proposes to prohibit local and state government entities in Missouri from using automated traffic enforcement systems, specifically targeting two types of technologies: photo red light enforcement systems and automated license plate reader (ALPR) systems. For photo red light enforcement systems, the bill defines these as camera and sensor devices installed at intersections that capture images of vehicles running red lights. For ALPR systems, the bill defines them as camera systems with computer algorithms that convert license plate images into readable data. The bill would prevent counties, cities, towns, villages, municipalities, and state agencies from purchasing, installing, using, or accessing data from these systems, with two key exceptions: ALPR systems used on vehicles occupied by law enforcement officers and plate data captured by third-party vendors in compliance with specific existing state insurance-related statutes. By implementing these restrictions, the bill aims to limit automated traffic monitoring and enforcement technologies across the state, potentially impacting how local governments manage traffic violations and data collection.
