HB4921 Summary

• Repeals Section 11-208.6 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, eliminating authority for municipalities and counties to use automated traffic law enforcement systems (red light cameras) at intersections.

• Prohibits all units of local government, including home rule units, from enacting or enforcing ordinances that use automated traffic law enforcement systems to photograph vehicles failing to stop at red lights or yield at intersections, with violations of Section 11-306.

• Limits automated speed enforcement systems to municipalities with populations of 1,000,000 or more and restricts their use to school safety zones and park district property; denies home rule powers for speed enforcement camera expansion beyond these parameters.

• Removes references to red light camera violations from driver's license suspension thresholds and administrative adjudication procedures, retaining suspension authority only for automated speed enforcement system violations and parking violations.

• Requires implementation of changes without reimbursement from the State under the State Mandates Act.
