AZ HB2366

Repeals the old photo enforcement system statute and creates a new comprehensive framework for "automated traffic safety devices" that can detect violations of traffic laws (articles 3 and 6) and school bus passing violations (section 28-857) using cameras that photograph vehicles and license plates.

Establishes civil penalties for violations detected by automated devices: up to $150 for most speeding/traffic violations, at least $200 for running red lights, and $250-$750 for school bus violations (depending on frequency within 12 months).

Requires governing bodies to mail notice of violation within 30 days, with violators able to pay within 30 days, contest within 30 days, or transfer responsibility to another driver; failure to respond results in inability to renew vehicle registration, transfer title, or renew driver's license.

Allows vehicle owners to transfer responsibility to the actual operator if the violation occurred while someone else had care, custody, or control of the vehicle, with specific procedures for notice and rebuttal; owners may sue operators for indemnification.

Mandates that 50% of civil penalties (after device costs) go to schools for safety and educational purposes, with the other 50% retained by local authorities or deposited in the state general fund; prohibits arrests for unpaid penalties and exempts first responders from enforcement.
