Authorizes state and local law-enforcement agencies to place and operate pedestrian crossing violation and stop sign violation monitoring systems in school crossing zones, highway work zones, and high-risk speed corridors for purposes of recording pedestrian crossing and stop sign violations, as those terms are defined in the bill. The bill changes the term "photo speed monitoring device" to "speed safety camera" and "high-risk intersection segment" to "high-risk speed corridor" in provisions related to vehicle speed violations. The bill makes various changes to the requirements for the use of speed safety cameras and extends most of those requirements to the use of pedestrian crossing and stop sign violation monitoring systems. The bill requires local law-enforcement agencies implementing or expanding the use of pedestrian crossing violation and stop sign violation monitoring systems, prior to the implementation or expansion of such systems, to conduct a public awareness program for such implementation or expansion. ## Bill overview No economic impacts identified for this bill. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Angelia Williams Graves (Democratic), Senate ## Roll call votes | Date | Chamber | Motion | Result | Yes | No | Other | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2025-02-22 | Senate | Conference report agreed to by Senate | pass | 25 | 15 | | | 2025-02-22 | House | Conference report agreed to by House | pass | 54 | 40 | | | 2025-02-20 | Senate | Senate acceded to request Block Vote | pass | 38 | 0 | | | 2025-02-19 | Senate | House substitute rejected by Senate | fail | 1 | 39 | | | 2025-02-18 | House | Passed House with substitute | pass | 52 | 44 | | | 2025-02-13 | House | Reported from Transportation with substitute | pass | 11 | 9 | | | 2025-02-12 | House | Subcommittee recommends reporting with substitute | pass | 5 | 3 | 1 | | 2025-01-30 | Senate | Read third time and passed Senate | pass | 24 | 15 | | | 2025-01-27 | Senate | Constitutional reading dispensed Block Vote (on 1st reading) | pass | 36 | 0 | | | 2025-01-23 | Senate | Reported from Transportation | pass | 9 | 5 | | ## Actions (46) - 2025-04-02: Senate sustained Governor's veto (Senate) - 2025-04-02: Passed by for the day (Senate) - 2025-03-26: Vetoed by Governor (Governor) - 2025-03-11: Governor's Action Deadline 11:59 p.m., March 24, 2025 (Governor) - 2025-03-11: Enrolled Bill Communicated to Governor on March 11, 2025 (Senate) - 2025-03-10: Fiscal Impact Statement from Department of Planning and Budget (SB1233) (Senate) - 2025-03-10: Signed by President (Senate) - 2025-03-07: Bill text as passed Senate and House (SB1233ER) (Senate) - 2025-03-07: Enrolled (Senate) - 2025-03-07: Signed by Speaker (House) - 2025-03-03: Fiscal Impact Statement from Department of Planning and Budget (SB1233) (Senate) - 2025-02-22: Conference report agreed to by Senate (25-Y 15-N) (Senate) - 2025-02-22: Conference substitute printed 25107992D-S1 (Senate) - 2025-02-22: Amended by conference committee - 2025-02-22: Conference report agreed to by House (54-Y 40-N) (House) - 2025-02-20: Senate acceded to request Block Vote (38-Y 0-N) (Senate) - 2025-02-20: Senators: Williams Graves, Aird, Mulchi (Senate) - 2025-02-20: Conferees appointed by Senate (Senate) - 2025-02-20: Delegates: Seibold, Delaney, Higgins (House) - 2025-02-20: Conferees appointed by House (House) - 2025-02-20: House requested conference committee (House) - 2025-02-20: House insisted on substitute (House) - 2025-02-19: House substitute rejected by Senate (1-Y 39-N) (Senate) - 2025-02-18: Passed House with substitute (52-Y 44-N) (House) - 2025-02-18: Engrossed by House - committee substitute (House) - 2025-02-18: Transportation Substitute agreed to (House) - 2025-02-18: Read third time (House) - 2025-02-17: Read second time (House) - 2025-02-13: Committee substitute printed 25107387D-H1 (House) - 2025-02-13: Reported from Transportation with substitute (11-Y 9-N) (House) - 2025-02-12: Subcommittee recommends reporting with substitute (5-Y 3-N) (House) - 2025-02-07: Assigned Trans sub: Innovations (Ad Hoc) (House) - 2025-02-03: Read first time (House) - 2025-02-03: Referred to Committee on Transportation (House) - 2025-02-03: Placed on Calendar (House) - 2025-01-30: Read third time and passed Senate (24-Y 15-N) (Senate) - 2025-01-29: Passed by for the day (Senate) - 2025-01-28: Fiscal Impact Statement from Department of Planning and Budget (SB1233) (Senate) - 2025-01-28: Engrossed by Senate (Senate) - 2025-01-28: Read second time (Senate) - 2025-01-27: Constitutional reading dispensed Block Vote (on 1st reading) (36-Y 0-N) (Senate) - 2025-01-27: Passed by for the day (Senate) - 2025-01-27: Rules suspended (Senate) - 2025-01-23: Reported from Transportation (9-Y 5-N) (Senate) - 2025-01-08: Referred to Committee on Transportation (Senate) - 2025-01-08: Prefiled and ordered printed;
