SB 637 will be considered by the Transportation Committee on Wednesday, March 17 at 8:00 a.m., in Room SCR1 at the State Capitol. The bill is sponsored State Senator Jim Lembke (R-South County).
Lembke's efforts to ban the cameras was written about in The South County Times:
"They (photo enforcement cameras) are real revenue generators," Lembke said. "The problem is you can't identify who is driving the car. So you have a due process problem. They send you a ticket and say "we have your car going through this intersection, sign the ticket and send it back with your $100.' Well that's self-incrimination. They're asking to you to say you're driving the car.
The Transportation Committee will also hear related bills sponsored by Sen. Lembke:
SB 864 - Prohibits political subdivisions from using automated traffic enforcement systems to enforce traffic violations unless violations are prosecutedcriminally and points are imposed
SB 970 - Exempts transportation management companies, and their subcontractors, who contract with the state from certain regulations
An executive session may or may not follow the March 17 hearing.
