Additionally, the bill sets a removal deadline of October 1, 2025, for any existing automated recording systems currently used for this purpose. The law applies specifically to public streets, roads, and highways within the state and defines automated recording equipment as cameras or optical devices linked to traffic signals or speed detection systems.
