Informing the Legislature that on June 27, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB2443 SD2 HD2 CD1 (ACT 112).

This bill establishes a state-run automated speed enforcement program in Hawaii to address the high rate of speeding-related traffic fatalities. The program will use cameras and sensors to automatically issue monetary tickets to the registered owners of vehicles caught speeding in specific locations where photo red light systems are already active. The Department of Transportation is responsible for overseeing the project, while a third-party contractor will handle the installation, operation, and maintenance of the equipment. The legislation also requires the state to pay vendors based on the value of the equipment and services provided.
