Bill > HCR2004

This joint resolution, passed by the Arizona House of Representatives and Senate, proposes a new law that would significantly restrict the use of photo enforcement systems, which are devices that use radar or sensors linked to cameras to identify drivers violating speed limits or traffic signals. The resolution, if approved by voters, would prohibit local authorities and state agencies from using these systems to enforce traffic laws unless they have a signed contract to operate such a system by December 31, 2026. Furthermore, any local authority operating a photo enforcement system would be required to obtain voter approval at the next general election to continue its operation, and if voter approval is not granted, the system must cease operations within 90 days. If voter approval is obtained, the system can operate for ten years, after which it must be submitted for voter re-approval every ten years thereafter. The resolution also expresses legislative intent to keep law enforcement in the hands of trained officers, protect citizens from potential abuses by private, for-profit entities involved in enforcement, and ensure that law enforcement's primary purpose is to serve and protect, not to generate revenue.
