IL SB1950

Authorizes the Department of Transportation, counties, and municipalities to use automated speed enforcement systems to record speed violations in high-risk locations such as school zones, interstate highways, and areas with high accident rates.

Violations recorded by automated speed enforcement systems are civil penalties (not moving violations) and cannot be recorded on a driver's license, with specific penalty amounts: $165 for 15 mph over limit, $200 for 16-30 mph over limit, and $300 for 31+ mph over limit on interstate highways.

Allows the Secretary of State to suspend driving privileges for failure to pay 5 or more automated speed enforcement system violations, similar to existing rules for automated traffic law enforcement violations.

Creates the Automated Speed Enforcement Fund to collect and distribute civil penalties to the Department of Transportation, school districts, counties, municipalities, and the State General Revenue Fund for system administration and educational improvements.

Modifies Section 11-612 to permit automated speed enforcement systems as an exception to the general prohibition on using imaging systems to record vehicle speeds without a law enforcement officer present at the scene.
