AN ACT CONCERNING THE CHARGING OF SPEEDING VIOLATIONS OBSERVED BY A SPEED CAMERA.

HB 6699 clarifies that speeding violations caught by speed cameras can only be charged to the person driving the vehicle at the time of the violation. The bill requires local jurisdictions to prove who was operating the vehicle to issue a ticket, shifting the burden of proof from the driver to the enforcement agency. This directly affects drivers caught by speed cameras, preventing automatic tickets to vehicle owners when the actual operator cannot be identified. The law ensures speed camera enforcement aligns with standard traffic violation procedures by mandating proof of the driver's identity before penalties are applied.
