Photo RadarOn Monday, February 13, the Senate Judiciary Committee considered a number of measures sponsored by Senator Frank Antenori (R-Tucson) designed to inhibit or discourage the use of photo radar across the state. One such bill, SB 1315 (photo enforcement; tickets; service), would change the service options for photo radar tickets to include personal service or certified mail. The bill failed by a vote of 2-5.Another measure, SB 1316 (red light violations; photo radar), was held. The bill would require that a red light be illuminated for one full second before a photo enforcement system can activate. The final photo radar measure considered by the committee was SCR 1029 (photo radar prohibition), which passed by a 4-1 vote. This is a ballot proposition that would eliminate all photo radar enforcement in the state. The League opposes the measure based on the diminution of local authority it would effect. SCR 1029, which does not require gubernatorial approval, proceeds to the Senate Rules Committee. |
