Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Montgomery camera fines fund road safety

Beginning October 1, 2025, fines from the newly authorized high-risk-road cameras fund safety projects after system costs are recovered. Remaining balances above 10% of a local government's annual revenues go to the State General Fund. County project funds must support study, design, and construction at high-risk roads or intersections in county or State safety plans. Municipal project funds follow the same rule, but municipal and similar road safety plans also qualify. These plans must identify risks of crashes causing serious injury or death. The county or municipality must also review each qualifying camera system's effect on the speed at or below which 85% of drivers travel. Reviews are due by October 1, 2030, and by October 1 every five years afterward.

Montgomery County expands cameras with limits

Beginning October 1, 2025, Montgomery County and its municipalities can use speed cameras on more high-risk roads. Roads must be listed in the latest local, county, or State highway safety or Vision Zero plan. The plan must identify risks of crashes causing serious injury or death. Cameras are banned on controlled-access highways, expressways, and interstate highways in the county. Local approval requires a local law, reasonable public notice, and a public hearing. Camera citations apply at 12 mph or more above the speed limit, with civil fines capped at $40. At new or moved locations, citations cannot begin until required signs are installed and 15 calendar days have passed. Drivers can pay without appearing in court.
