Bill > HB282

This bill, titled "Automated Traffic Safety Cameras," amends Alaska Statute (AS) 29.35 by adding a new section, AS 29.35.143, which clarifies the authority over automated traffic safety cameras. The key provision states that the authority to regulate these cameras is reserved to the state, meaning that municipalities, whether they are home rule (having broad self-governance powers) or general law (governed by state law), generally cannot ban their use unless specifically allowed by statute. The bill defines an "automated traffic safety camera" as a device that works with traffic control systems or speed measuring devices to automatically capture images of vehicles that fail to stop at red lights or railroad crossings, or that exceed the speed limit.
