SB1624

THE CONTEXT: A person who receives a notice of a traffic violation for excessive speed or failure to obey a traffic control device that is obtained using a photo enforcement system does not have to identify who is in the photo or respond to the notice. However, failure to respond to the notice may result in official service that may result in an additional fee being levied.

WHAT THE BILL DID: of identifying violators of state traffic laws or speeding laws ( A. R.

WHY IT MATTERED: The practical reason for this bill was to make the stated financial responsibility enforceable and keep public reporting on time. It would subjects a person, who is found responsible for a photo enforcement system violation, to a civil penalty of not more than $75, and would also excludes red light and school crossing violations from civil traffic violations that result from a photo enforcement system, rather than leave the current rule unchanged.
