Plain-language change summary

The revised HB 4451 now includes a provision that prohibits members of the General Assembly and municipal employees from accepting jobs with vendors that provide automated speed enforcement systems, both during and after their service for a period of two years. This change aims to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that those in public service do not benefit financially from companies involved in automated traffic regulation. This measure is important because it promotes transparency and integrity in government by keeping public officials accountable and discouraging potential corruption.

    public safety initiatives to ensure safe passage around schools, and to provide police protection and surveillance around schools and parks, including but not limited to: (1) personnel costs; and (2) non-personnel costs such as construction and maintenance of public saf → public safety initiatives to ensure safe passage around schools, and to provide police protection and surveillance around schools and parks, including but not limited to: (1) personnel costs; and (2) non-personnel costs such as construction and maintenance of public safety infrastructure and equipment; (ii) initiatives to improve pedestrian and traffic safety; (iii) construction and maintenance of infrastructure within the municipality, including but not limited to roads and bridges; and (iv) after school programs.

    The use of funds from civil penalties must now include initiatives to improve pedestrian and traffic safety, and infrastructure projects.

  • 625 ILCS 5/11-208.8(l)

    A roadway equipped with an automated speed enforcement system shall be posted with a sign conforming to the national Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices that is visible to approaching traffic stating that vehicle speeds are being photo-enforced and indicating the speed limit. The municipality shall install such additional signage as it determines is necessary to give reasonable notice to drivers as to where automated speed enforcement systems are installed.

    There is now a requirement for visible signage indicating the presence of automated speed enforcement systems and the speed limit.

  • 625 ILCS 5/11-208.8(m)

    A roadway where a new automated speed enforcement system is installed shall be posted with signs providing 30 days notice of the use of a new automated speed enforcement system prior to the issuance of any citations through the automated speed enforcement system.

    New automated speed enforcement systems must be publicly announced 30 days in advance of their use through appropriate signage.

  • 625 ILCS 5/11-208.8(n)

    The compensation paid for an automated speed enforcement system must be based on the value of the equipment or the services provided and may not be based on the number of traffic citations issued or the revenue generated by the system.

    Compensation for automated speed enforcement systems can no longer be tied to the number of citations or revenue generated, promoting ethical practices.
