2014 Senate Bill 1063

Authorize automated "photo cop" traffic citations

Introduced in the Senate

Sept. 11, 2014

Introduced by Sen. Virgil Smith (D-4)

To allow local governments in large counties to issue “no points” traffic citations based on images collected by automated, unmanned traffic monitoring devices ("photo-cops"), if the cameras are within 2,500 feet of a school, college or university. Local governments could contract out the operation of the cameras, and keep 56 percent of the fine revenue, with 14 percent going to the school district and 30 percent to libraries. See also Senate Bill 1045.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation
