| 4 | 4 | | 2023 SENATE BILL 107 |
|---|
| 5 | 5 | | March 1, 2023 - Introduced by Senators L. JOHNSON and CARPENTER, cosponsored |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | by Representatives MYERS, NOVAK, ANDRACA, CONSIDINE, DRAKE, KITCHENS, |
|---|
| 7 | 7 | | TUSLER, SINICKI, MOORE OMOKUNDE and ORTIZ-VELEZ. Referred to Committee |
|---|
| 8 | 8 | | on Judiciary and Public Safety. |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | AN ACT to amend 346.01 (2); and to create 343.32 (2) (bu), 346.575, 346.60 (6) |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | and 349.107 of the statutes; relating to: the use of automated speed |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | enforcement systems and traffic control photographic systems in a first class |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | city and providing a penalty. |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | This bill allows law enforcement agencies in a first class city (presently only |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | Milwaukee) to use an automated speed enforcement system (ASES) to identify speed |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | limit violations and allows the leadership of a first class city to enact an ordinance |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | that permits the use of a traffic control photographic system (TCPS) on highways |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | under the jurisdiction of the city to identify traffic signal violations. |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | Under current law, law enforcement officers may not use any radar device |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | combined with photographic identification of a vehicle to determine compliance with |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | motor vehicle speed limits. Under this bill, local law enforcement agencies in a first |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | class city may use an ASES to determine compliance with speed limits. With |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | exceptions, the vehicle owner is subject to a forfeiture for a speed limit violation |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | detected by an ASES. However, no traffic citation may be issued for a speed limit |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | violation for which the ASES indicated a speed of less than 20 miles per hour above |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | the speed limit alleged to be violated. The owner is subject to the same forfeiture that |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | would be applicable to the vehicle operator for the violation. The bill also imposes |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | a number of administrative requirements on a municipality that uses an ASES to |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | determine compliance with speed limits. The authorization of the use of an ASES |

|---|
| 35 | 35 | | SENATE BILL 107 |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | to determine compliance with speed limits expires five years after this bill takes |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | effect. |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | This bill also authorizes the leadership of a first class city to enact an ordinance |
|---|
| 39 | 39 | | that permits the use of a TCPS on highways under the jurisdiction of the city to detect |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | | motor vehicles that fail to properly stop at red traffic signals at intersections. A TCPS |
|---|
| 41 | 41 | | is an electronic system that automatically produces photographs of motor vehicles |
|---|
| 42 | 42 | | traveling through an intersection. With exceptions, the vehicle owner may be subject |
|---|
| 43 | 43 | | to a forfeiture for a traffic signal violation detected by a TCPS of not more than the |
|---|
| 44 | 44 | | amount provided for a traffic signal violation under current law, currently between |
|---|
| 45 | 45 | | $40 to $100. The authorization of the use of a TCPS to detect traffic signal violations |
|---|
| 46 | 46 | | expires five years after this bill takes effect. |
|---|
| 47 | 47 | | Forfeitures collected under either of these authorizations must be appropriated |
|---|
| 48 | 48 | | for use by the agency providing police service in the city that collected the forfeiture. |
|---|
| 49 | 49 | | For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be |
|---|
| 50 | 50 | | printed as an appendix to this bill. |
|---|

|---|
| 86 | 86 | | enforcement agency with jurisdiction over traffic violations may use an automated |

| 87 | 87 | | speed enforcement system to determine compliance with a speed restriction |
|---|
| 88 | 88 | | established under s. 346.57 or 349.11 on highways under its jurisdiction. Subject to |
|---|
| 89 | 89 | | sub. (5) (b), the owner of a vehicle involved in a violation of s. 346.57, or a local |
|---|
| 90 | 90 | | ordinance in conformity with s. 346.57, that is determined by a system shall be liable |
|---|

|---|
| 103 | 103 | | segregated account from which moneys may be used only for purposes of traffic |
|---|
| 104 | 104 | | enforcement and traffic safety programs administered by the local law enforcement |

|---|
| 243 | 243 | | 1. Administer a public information campaign for at least 30 days before the |
|---|
| 244 | 244 | | commencement of use of a system. The campaign shall include public |
|---|
| 245 | 245 | | announcements in major media outlets and press releases. The campaign shall |
|---|
| 246 | 246 | | include the following information: |
|---|
| 247 | 247 | | a. The system use policy under par. (c). |
|---|
| 248 | 248 | | b. The system impact report under par. (d). |

|---|
| 254 | 254 | | Whenever a system is first used on a highway, the local law enforcement agency shall |
|---|
| 255 | 255 | | issue warning notices rather than citations for violations detected by the systems |
|---|
| 256 | 256 | | during the first 90 calendar days of enforcement. |
|---|
| 257 | 257 | | (c) A municipality shall prepare and adopt a system use policy before entering |
|---|
| 258 | 258 | | into an agreement regarding a system, purchasing or leasing equipment for a |
|---|
| 259 | 259 | | system, or implementing this section. The system use policy shall include the specific |
|---|
| 260 | 260 | | purpose for the system, the uses that are authorized, the rules and processes |
|---|
| 261 | 261 | | required before that use, and the uses that are prohibited. The policy shall specify |
|---|
| 262 | 262 | | the information that may be collected by a system, the individuals who may access |
|---|
| 263 | 263 | | and use the collected information, and the procedure for accessing and using the |
