Substitute House Bill No. 7058 mandates the Commissioner of Transportation to create a plan for expanding the use of speed safety cameras on state highways, with a submission deadline of February 1, 2026, to the Transportation Committee. The commissioner is required to consider guidelines from the Federal Highway Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration while developing this plan. Additionally, the bill modifies existing law by repealing subsection (d) of section 14-307c and replacing it with new provisions that allow municipalities to impose fines for traffic violations and to use the revenue generated from these fines for specific purposes, including reimbursing vendors for the costs associated with the design, installation, operation, or maintenance of automated traffic enforcement devices.

The bill also clarifies that municipalities can set fines for traffic violations, with a maximum of $50 for first offenses and $75 for subsequent offenses within a year. It specifies that any violation occurring more than a year after the last violation will be treated as a first violation. The funds collected from these fines must be allocated towards improving transportation mobility, investing in infrastructure, or covering costs related to automated traffic enforcement devices. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
