MD HB343

Technicians employed by or under contract with law enforcement agencies may now swear to and affirm speed monitoring system violations based on inspection of recorded images, in addition to law enforcement officers

Both law enforcement officers and technicians must complete "reasonable training" specific to speed monitoring systems before certifying any certificates of violation

"Reasonable training" is defined as education, instruction, and practical experience sufficient to ensure competency in inspecting and interpreting recorded images from speed monitoring systems

Certificates of violation sworn to or affirmed by trained technicians are admissible as evidence in violation proceedings without requiring the speed monitoring system operator's presence or testimony

Effective October 1, 2025
