AI Summary
This bill repeals the authority for municipalities and counties to use automated traffic law enforcement systems, commonly known as red light cameras, to enforce violations of traffic signals at intersections. It also significantly restricts the ability of local governments, including home rule units, to use automated speed enforcement systems to record vehicle speeds, limiting their use to specific circumstances outlined in the bill and declaring this an exclusive power of the state. Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to other laws, including the State Mandates Act, which states that the state will not reimburse local governments for implementing these changes, and the O'Hare Driver Safety Act, by redefining "recorded images" in relation to automated traffic law enforcement systems.
