Bill > SB297

This bill repeals the authority of law-enforcement agencies to place and operate photo speed monitoring devices, which are defined as equipment that uses radar or LIDAR to detect vehicle speeds and record violations with photographs or other images. The bill amends existing law that allowed these devices to be used in school crossing zones, highway work zones, and specific "high-risk intersection segments" (defined as areas near schools with a history of traffic fatalities). While the original law permitted these devices to issue civil penalties up to $100 for speeding violations of at least 10 miles per hour over the posted limit, this bill effectively ends their use by removing the legal basis for their operation.
