The bill would add a rule to federal highway funding. Starting in fiscal years after September 30, 2026, the Transportation Secretary would withhold 10% of funds covered by two parts of federal law from a state that does not certify that no local jurisdiction uses automated speed enforcement. The bill defines such a system as a device that takes a vehicle image to issue a speeding citation without a law enforcement officer present. States could still use these systems in designated school zones during posted school hours and in active construction zones if the bill’s conditions are met.
States would need to submit an annual certification about automated speed enforcement to avoid the funding reduction. The bill allows use in school zones during posted school hours and in qualifying active construction zones. It does not set rules for individual drivers or citations.
The bill does not state the amount of funding any state would lose. It would withhold 10% of the amounts covered by the specified highway funding provisions from a state that fails to certify compliance. No publicly available information about other expenses.
