The bill amends Section 31-41.2-3 of the General Laws regarding "Automated Traffic Violation Monitoring Systems." The key change is the extension of the sunset provision for the "Don't Block the Box" automated traffic detection systems, moving the expiration date from January 15, 2027, to January 15, 2030. This allows municipalities to continue using these systems to monitor violations of traffic control signals for an additional three years.

The bill also specifies that the state department of transportation will oversee the installation and operation of these automated traffic violation monitoring systems. Additionally, it establishes that compensation for private entities providing these systems should be based on the value of the equipment and services, rather than the revenue generated from the systems. The act will take effect upon passage.
