HB 5184

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that an ordinance that provides for the administrative adjudication of automated traffic law (red light) violations shall require that all determinations by a technician employed or contracted by the municipality or county that a motor vehicle committed an automated traffic law violation must be reviewed and approved by a sworn law enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing the violation. Provides that for automated traffic law enforcement systems installed on or after January 1, 2011, "recorded images" means a video recording showing the motor vehicle and, on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly identifying the registration plate number of the motor vehicle (instead of the video recording and several other specified types of photographs or electronic images). Provides that if a municipality or county contracts with a private entity for the administration, enforcement, or both of red light violations, the private entity may not collect any fees or charge an additional fee payable to the private entity associated with a red light violation. Effective July 1, 2010.
