SB3095 Summary

• Repeals Section 11-208.6 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, which previously authorized municipalities to use automated traffic law enforcement systems (red light cameras) at intersections to photograph vehicles failing to stop at red lights.

• Restricts local governments' authority to use automated speed enforcement systems, limiting such systems to safety zones near schools and parks, and only in municipalities with populations of 1,000,000 or more.

• Prohibits all units of local government, including home rule units, from using automated traffic law enforcement systems to enforce red light violations, declaring this regulation an exclusive state power.

• Imposes operational limits on automated speed enforcement systems including mandatory signage, 30-day notice before operation begins, restrictions on when systems can operate, and requirements for statistical safety analysis.

• Denies home rule powers regarding automated traffic law enforcement for red light violations and exempts implementation costs from State Mandates Act reimbursement requirements.
