A bill that would ban photo enforcement systems — like ones that catch speeding vehicle license plates — heads to the House floor and, if passed, to the Governor’s desk.
The mostly Republican-backed bill would expand the current restrictions to prohibit local authorities and state agencies from its usage.
House Democratic Leader Oscar De Los Santos (Phoenix) is against the bill.
“Speeding crashes are 4.5 times more common than alcohol related crashes. And these crashes are only becoming more and more common and more dangerous,” De Los Santos said.
A similar bill was vetoed by Gov. Katie Hobbs in 2023. She cited safety concerns.
