SCR 1004 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

photo enforcement systems; prohibition

SCR 1004 is a resolution that, if approved by Arizona voters, would prohibit the use of photo enforcement systems for traffic law enforcement. The bill defines "photo enforcement system" as a device using radar or sensors linked to a camera to capture license plate images for identifying traffic violations. It amends Arizona Revised Statutes to repeal existing provisions permitting such systems and adds a new prohibition. This measure would directly affect law enforcement agencies and drivers by banning automated traffic ticketing without an officer present.

MODERATE

The bill was restructured from a standard legislative text format into a formal Senate Concurrent Resolution. The substantive content remains focused on prohibiting photo enforcement systems unless approved by voters, but the specific statutory language regarding the timeline and contract requirements was altered during the formatting process.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding the prohibition of photo enforcement systems remains the same, but the specific statutory sections cited and the detailed text of the new section were modified.

TECHNICAL

The document structure changed from a standard bill introduction to a formal 'Senate Concurrent Resolution' format.

The specific Arizona Revised Statute sections listed in the act summary were changed from multiple sections (28-601, 28-627, etc.) to only 28-1201 and 28-1207.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'photo enforcement system' was updated to explicitly include 'recorded images' in addition to photographs and videotapes.

REQUIREMENT

The text for the new statute (Section 28-1207) was significantly altered, changing the initial requirement from a contract deadline to a voter approval requirement at the next general election.
