Bill > HB684

This bill allows registered special conservators of the peace (individuals appointed by a court with limited law enforcement powers) and technicians employed by a locality to officially certify violations recorded by traffic light signal monitoring systems, traffic control device monitoring systems, and photo speed monitoring devices. This certification is crucial for the enforcement of traffic violations captured by these automated systems. To be authorized to perform this certification, these individuals must first complete a specific training course developed and approved by the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). The bill mandates that the DCJS must create and make this training available by July 1, 2027. This measure aims to expand the pool of individuals who can validate evidence from these traffic enforcement technologies, potentially streamlining the enforcement process for traffic signal and speed violations.
