HB0323 Summary

• Repeals Section 11-208.6 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, eliminating authority for automated traffic law enforcement systems (red light cameras) at intersections that photograph vehicles failing to stop at traffic control signals.

• Imposes strict limits on local governments' use of automated speed enforcement systems, restricting such systems to safety zones within one-eighth mile of schools or parks and only during specific operational hours.

• Prohibits all counties and municipalities, including home rule units, from using automated speed enforcement systems except as specifically provided in the bill, designating speed enforcement regulation as an exclusive state power.

• Denies home rule powers by explicitly limiting local government authority over automated enforcement systems for both red light violations (Section 11-306) and speed violations.

• Requires implementation of the bill's requirements without state reimbursement under the State Mandates Act.
