This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding photo enforcement systems. It would repeal sections 28-1202 through 28-1206 and 28-1602, which currently govern the use of photo enforcement systems. The bill also amends existing definitions related to traffic laws, including the definition of "photo enforcement system," which would now explicitly state that such systems cannot be used by local authorities or state agencies to identify violators of traffic laws or city ordinances related to excessive speed or traffic control devices.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the intent of the legislature to maintain law enforcement within the purview of trained officers, protect citizens from potential abuses of outsourcing law enforcement to private entities, and ensure that law enforcement's primary purpose is to serve and protect rather than generate revenue. These changes aim to clarify the role of law enforcement in traffic regulation and limit the use of automated systems in enforcing traffic laws.
