Use of cameras prohibition for traffic safety enforcement
This bill prohibits Minnesota local governments from using traffic cameras to enforce speed limits or red light violations. It repeals existing laws that allowed speed safety camera systems (under Minnesota Statutes 169.147) and red light camera systems, including specific provisions in statutes 169.011, 169.06, 169.14, and 171.12. The policy change directly affects cities, counties, and towns that currently operate or plan to use these camera systems for traffic enforcement. By canceling related funding and repealing all enabling statutes, the bill ends the legal framework for automated traffic camera enforcement statewide.
