Relating to the power of a governmental entity to enforce compliance with posted speed limits by an automated traffic control system.
HB 2810 prohibits Texas local governments (including cities, counties, and districts) from using automated systems to enforce speed limit compliance on public roads. It amends the Transportation Code to ban governmental entities from implementing or operating automated traffic control systems for speed enforcement, with the attorney general responsible for enforcement. The bill defines "governmental entity" broadly to include all local jurisdictions and takes effect September 1, 2025. This directly affects municipalities considering or using speed camera programs for traffic enforcement.
