The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require a governing body of a local authority to hold an election on the question of repealing photographic traffic signal enforcement systems if the governing body receives a petition that requests the election signed by 10% of the registered voters in the local authority. Under the provisions of the bill, an election on the repealing of a photographic traffic signal enforcement system ordinance could not be held more often than every two years.
