VEH CD-SPEED ENFORCE SYSTEMS

Impact

The bill mandates that any net proceeds from civil penalties imposed by these enforcement systems will be allocated for specific purposes such as public safety initiatives and infrastructure maintenance. A key stipulation is that $5 from each civil penalty will be remitted to the State Treasurer for deposit into the General Revenue Fund. Municipalities operating these systems will also be required to conduct statistical analyses to assess the safety impact of these systems, ensuring accountability and public transparency regarding their usage.

Summary

House Bill 1389 aims to amend the Illinois Vehicle Code to expand the provisions regarding automated speed enforcement systems in safety zones. Initially applicable only to the City of Chicago, the scope of the legislation will now encompass municipalities within several counties including Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair, and Will. This expansion allows these municipalities to implement automated speed enforcement systems in designated safety zones to enhance traffic safety, particularly around schools and parks.

Contention

While supporters argue that the bill will reduce speed-related accidents and enhance safety in vulnerable areas, there may be concerns regarding potential overreach and fairness in enforcement. Critics could argue that automated systems may yield excessive fines, potentially targeting vulnerable or low-income drivers. Moreover, the bill prohibits municipalities from rolling out these systems to penalize for speeds less than five miles per hour over the limit, which aims to minimize overly punitive measures, yet may still raise ethical questions regarding automated law enforcement.
