SB 1624 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

photo radar enforcement; civil penalty

This bill changes Arizona's photo radar enforcement rules for traffic violations like speeding or red-light running. Drivers who receive a violation notice from a photo enforcement system do not have to identify the driver or respond to the notice. The maximum civil penalty is capped at $75, and the violation cannot result in driver license suspension, higher insurance rates, or affect insurance renewals. Law enforcement must review evidence before issuing citations, and photo enforcement companies cannot determine if a violation occurred.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to shift its focus from general traffic enforcement and officer training to specifically addressing civil traffic violations. The most significant change is the removal of a provision that required a portion of civil penalty fines to be deposited into a peace officer training equipment fund, meaning future fines from photo enforcement will no longer contribute to that specific fund. Additionally, formatting was updated to reflect the Senate version, and minor punctuation adjustments were made to existing text regarding service of process and insurer obligations.

Scope change

The bill's scope narrowed from a broad amendment covering both traffic enforcement and officer training to an exclusive focus on civil traffic violations and their associated penalties.

FISCAL

Deleted the requirement that $15 of every civil penalty collected from photo enforcement violations be deposited into the peace officer training equipment fund.

SCOPE

Changed the bill's title and description to focus solely on civil traffic violations rather than general traffic enforcement and officer training.

TECHNICAL

Updated document headers and section titles to reflect the Senate Engrossed Version instead of the House Engrossed Version.

Added semicolons to the end of several sentences regarding service of process and insurer obligations to improve grammatical consistency.
