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

The bill also specifies that the state department of transportation will oversee the installation and operation of these automated systems, which must be approved by the director of the department. Additionally, the regulations governing these systems will ensure they meet standards of efficiency and accuracy. Compensation for private entities providing the systems will be based on the value of the equipment rather than the revenue generated from the systems. The act will take effect upon passage.
