HB 2267 Summary

• Establishes an automated speed enforcement systems program allowing the State and counties to deploy speed enforcement cameras on state and county highways to enforce speed limit violations.

• Requires citations for speeding violations detected by automated systems to be mailed to registered vehicle owners within ten calendar days, with a 30-day warning period before penalties apply at new locations.

• Creates strict liability for registered vehicle owners (rather than drivers) for speed violations detected by automated systems, with fines of $250 for violations exceeding the speed limit by 10+ mph, and $250 additional fine for speeds 30+ mph over the limit or 80+ mph regardless of posted limit.

• Establishes an automated speed enforcement systems program special fund to collect fines, which must be expended in the county where violations occurred for establishment, operation, maintenance, and repair of automated speed enforcement systems.

• Effective July 1, 3000 (note: the effective date appears to contain a typographical error, as it is set for the year 3000).
