An act relating to the temporary use of automated traffic law enforcement (ATLE) systems

This bill establishes a 15-month pilot program allowing the use of automated traffic law enforcement cameras in highway work zones to protect workers and reduce speeding. The system will only activate when workers are present, when vehicles exceed the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour, and when visible signs indicate the cameras are in operation. Vehicle owners who receive citations from the system will face escalating fines of $80 for a second violation and $160 for a third or subsequent violation within 12 months, while the first violation carries no fine. The program requires a public education campaign before it begins in July 2025 and depends on receiving federal funding to proceed.
