Motor Vehicles - Speed Monitoring Systems - Statements and Certificates of Violations
SB 390 allows technicians (not just police officers) to legally certify speeding violations based on speed monitoring system footage, after completing required training. It updates Maryland law to require all certified individuals - whether law enforcement officers or contracted technicians - to undergo specific training before verifying violations. This directly affects drivers caught by speed cameras and the agencies operating the monitoring systems, ensuring certification is based on verified footage rather than just automated records. The bill takes effect October 1, 2025.
