Bill Summary
Use of violation monitoring systems to enforce traffic light signals and certain traffic control devices; repeal. Repeals the authority of localities to use traffic light signal violation monitoring systems, colloquially known as red light cameras, and traffic control device violation monitoring systems to enforce certain traffic offenses, including traffic light signal violations.
AI Summary
This bill repeals the authority of local governments in Virginia to use "traffic light signal violation monitoring systems" and "traffic control device violation monitoring systems," commonly known as red light cameras, to enforce traffic laws. These systems use cameras to capture images of vehicles that allegedly run red lights or violate other traffic control devices. The bill also makes some technical changes to the existing law, such as clarifying that private vendors operating these systems cannot impose or collect additional fees beyond the authorized civil penalty, and it requires localities to report data on the use and financial impact of these systems to the Department of State Police annually.
