TRAFFIC/VIOLATIONS: Provides relative to use of automated and electronic speed enforcement devices for the issuance of citations
Read by title, under the rules, referred to the Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works.
Summary
The measure changes state law so that the current prohibition on using automated and electronic speed‑enforcement devices does not apply to municipalities with populations between 15,000 and 16,000 located in parishes of 70,000 to 90,000 residents, and also does not apply to parishes whose total population is between 439,000 and 442,000. By creating these exceptions, those local governments could install speed cameras and related devices, including in school zones, where they were previously barred.
