4/15/09-HB313 died in committee. However, the Senate version – SB277 – has moved to the governor’s desk.

3/9/09-A bill in the House Environmental Matters Committee would authorize cameras in works zones on expressways and controlled-access highways throughout the state where the speed limit is at least 45 mph.
The automated cameras snap pictures of vehicles traveling over the posted speed limit. A ticket is mailed to the vehicles’ owners, regardless of who was driving at the time.
HB313 would hand out up to $40 fines to the registered owners of vehicles caught on camera traveling at least 12 mph in excess of the speed limit.
Speed camera profits would be used solely for local safety programs. Anything left after two years would be routed into the state general fund.

The Senate version – SB277 – is in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee.
