Bill Summary

Requiring the State Highway Administration to approve, deny, or return as incomplete an application for the use of a certain speed monitoring system within 90 days after receipt of the application; and providing that if the Administration does not approve, deny, or return the application in accordance with the Act, the application is deemed approved.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the process for approving the use of speed monitoring systems, which are devices that capture images of vehicles exceeding the speed limit by at least 12 miles per hour, on State highways within municipal corporations. Previously, counties had to obtain approval from the State Highway Administration, notify the municipality, and then give the municipality 60 days to enact its own ordinance to use the system. Now, the State Highway Administration will have 90 days to approve or deny an application for a speed monitoring system, or return it as incomplete; if the administration fails to act within this timeframe, the application will be automatically approved. This change aims to streamline the approval process for these traffic enforcement tools.
