photo enforcement; traffic violations

SB 1146 establishes rules for photo enforcement systems that automatically capture images of vehicles speeding (11+ mph above the limit) or running red lights. It directly affects motor vehicle owners (who receive fines for violations captured by the system) and local governments (cities/counties that must adopt specific ordinances before using the systems). Key provisions require advance warning signs, limit fines to $350 (doubling in school/work zones), prohibit capturing faces in images, and mandate that notices be mailed within 30-60 days of the violation. The bill also bans revenue-based compensation for system operators and requires systems to undergo monthly performance logs and annual calibration checks.
