Summary
The law authorizes local jurisdictions to install automated traffic‑signal enforcement systems—often called red‑light cameras—if they follow detailed sign, yellow‑light, and notice requirements. It sets a $25 fee for appeals, limits how long video and photo evidence can be kept, bans facial‑recognition use, and keeps records confidential. The goal is to improve intersection safety while addressing concerns about bias and data privacy.
