Photo speed monitoring devices; law-enforcement agencies to report to VSP number of summonses, etc.

The original bill included amendments to multiple sections (§§ 33.2-373, 46.2-208, 46.2-882) related to highway safety funding, driver records, and vehicle information, but these were all removed in the substitute version.

The substitute bill now only addresses photo speed monitoring devices and limits their use to school crossing zones, highway work zones, and high-risk intersection segments where a traffic fatality occurred since January 1, 2014.

The original statute allowed photo speed monitoring devices to be used more broadly; the new version restricts deployment to specific high-risk locations and establishes civil penalties (up to $100) rather than criminal prosecution for violations.

New definitions were added for 'high-risk intersection segment,' 'highway work zone,' 'photo speed monitoring device,' 'retired sworn law-enforcement officer,' 'school crossing zone,' and 'vehicle speed violation' to clarify the limited scope of the new statute.

Civil penalties collected from violations at high-risk intersection segments now go to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for the Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program, rather than to localities or the Literary Fund as previously structured.

The original bill included extensive provisions about driver records, vehicle information releases, and various exemptions that were completely removed from the substitute version.
