Bill > SB1279

This bill authorizes the City of Long Beach to operate a pilot program using up to six speed safety systems, which are devices like radar or laser that detect speeding violations and capture license plate images, along Pacific Coast Highway until January 1, 2036. The program requires the city to follow its existing Speed Safety System Use Policy and update its Speed Safety System Impact Report, making both publicly available, and mandates clear signage and real-time driver notifications when violations are detected. Violations recorded by these systems will result in civil penalties, with specific fines for different speed overages, and the process includes issuing warning notices for initial violations, an initial review, an administrative hearing, and an appeal process to the superior court, with a $25 filing fee for appeals. The bill also establishes provisions for indigent individuals, allowing for diversion programs, payment plans, and reduced penalties, and requires the city to submit an evaluation of the program's impact on safety and the community to the legislature.
