4    Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
5changing Section 11-208.8 as follows:
6    (625 ILCS 5/11-208.8)
7    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 104-381)
8    Sec. 11-208.8. Automated speed enforcement systems in
9safety zones.
10    (a) As used in this Section:
11    "Automated speed enforcement system" means a photographic
12device, radar device, laser device, or other electrical or
13mechanical device or devices installed or utilized in a safety
14zone and designed to record the speed of a vehicle and obtain a
15clear photograph or other recorded image of the vehicle and
16the vehicle's registration plate or digital registration plate
17while the driver is violating Article VI of Chapter 11 of this
18Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance.
19    An automated speed enforcement system is a system, located
20in a safety zone which is under the jurisdiction of a
21municipality, that produces a recorded image of a motor
22vehicle's violation of a provision of this Code or a local
23ordinance and is designed to obtain a clear recorded image of
		SB2759	- 2 -	LRB104 16561 LNS 29959 b
1the vehicle and the vehicle's license plate. The recorded
2image must also display the time, date, and location of the
3violation.
4    "Owner" means the person or entity to whom the vehicle is
5registered.
6    "Recorded image" means images recorded by an automated
7speed enforcement system on:
8        (1) 2 or more photographs;
9        (2) 2 or more microphotographs;
10        (3) 2 or more electronic images; or
11        (4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and,
12    on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly
13    identifying the registration plate or digital registration
14    plate number of the motor vehicle.
15    "Safety zone" means an area that is within one-eighth of a
16mile from the nearest property line of any public or private
17elementary or secondary school, or from the nearest property
18line of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district
19that is used for educational purposes approved by the Illinois
20State Board of Education, not including school district
21headquarters or administrative buildings. A safety zone also
22includes an area that is within one-eighth of a mile from the
23nearest property line of any facility, area, or land owned by a
24park district used for recreational purposes. However, if any
25portion of a roadway is within either one-eighth mile radius,
26the safety zone also shall include the roadway extended to the
		SB2759	- 3 -	LRB104 16561 LNS 29959 b
1furthest portion of the next furthest intersection. The term
2"safety zone" does not include any portion of the roadway
3known as Lake Shore Drive or any controlled access highway
4with 8 or more lanes of traffic.
5    (a-5) The automated speed enforcement system shall be
6operational and violations shall be recorded only at the
7following times:
8        (i) if the safety zone is based upon the property line
9    of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district,
10    only on school days and no earlier than 6 a.m. and no later
11    than 8:30 p.m. if the school day is during the period of
12    Monday through Thursday, or 9 p.m. if the school day is a
13    Friday; and
14        (ii) if the safety zone is based upon the property
15    line of any facility, area, or land owned by a park
16    district, no earlier than one hour prior to the time that
17    the facility, area, or land is open to the public or other
18    patrons, and no later than one hour after the facility,
19    area, or land is closed to the public or other patrons.
20    (b) A municipality that produces a recorded image of a
21motor vehicle's violation of a provision of this Code or a
22local ordinance must make the recorded images of a violation
23accessible to the alleged violator by providing the alleged
24violator with a website address, accessible through the
25Internet.
26    (c) Notwithstanding any penalties for any other violations
		SB2759	- 4 -	LRB104 16561 LNS 29959 b
1of this Code, the owner of a motor vehicle used in a traffic

3shall be subject to the following penalties:
4        (1) if the recorded speed is no less than 6 miles per
5    hour and no more than 10 miles per hour over the legal
6    speed limit, a civil penalty not exceeding $50, plus an
7    additional penalty of not more than $50 for failure to pay
8    the original penalty in a timely manner; or

12    than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty in a
13    timely manner.
14    A penalty may not be imposed under this Section if the
15driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform Traffic
16Citation from a police officer for a speeding violation
17occurring within one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the
18violation that was recorded by the system. A violation for
19which a civil penalty is imposed under this Section is not a
20violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of
21vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record of the
22owner of the vehicle. A law enforcement officer is not
23required to be present or to witness the violation. No penalty
24may be imposed under this Section if the recorded speed of a

20    roads and bridges; and
21        (iv) after school programs.
22    (e) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a
23local ordinance recorded by an automated speed enforcement
24system, the municipality having jurisdiction shall issue a

20    to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of
21    liability;
22        (9) a statement that the person may elect to proceed
23    by:

9speed enforcement system if any official or employee who
10serves that county or municipality is charged with bribery,
11official misconduct, or a similar crime related to the
12placement, installation, or operation of the automated speed
13enforcement system in the county or municipality.
14    The Department shall adopt any rules necessary to
15implement and administer this subsection. The rules adopted by

16effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
17Assembly shall conduct a statistical analysis to assess the
18safety impact of the system by no later than one year after the
19effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General
20Assembly and every 2 years thereafter. Each statistical
21analysis shall be based upon the best available crash,
22traffic, and other data, and shall cover a period of time
23before and after installation of the system sufficient to
24provide a statistically valid comparison of safety impact.
25Each statistical analysis shall be consistent with
26professional judgment and acceptable industry practice. Each
		SB2759	- 23 -	LRB104 16561 LNS 29959 b

13consequence, apply for a permit, approval, or other
14authorization from the Department for reinstallation of one or
15more malfunctioning components of that system and if, at the
16time of the application for the permit, approval, or other
17authorization, the new vendor operates an automated speed
18enforcement system for any other county or municipality in the
19State, then the Department shall approve or deny the county or
20municipality's application for the permit, approval, or other
21authorization within 90 days after its receipt.
22    (u) The Department may revoke any permit, approval, or
23other authorization granted to a county or municipality for
24the placement, installation, or operation of an automated
25speed enforcement system if any official or employee who
26serves that county or municipality is charged with bribery,
		SB2759	- 24 -	LRB104 16561 LNS 29959 b
1official misconduct, or a similar crime related to the
2placement, installation, or operation of the automated speed
3enforcement system in the county or municipality.

19        (2) the available research on potential effectiveness
20    of cameras powered by artificial intelligence in improving
21    compliance and reducing crashes and road fatalities on
22    North and South DuSable Lake Shore Drive;
23        (3) an analysis of driving behavior to detect risky
24    driving patterns and to address the DuSable Lake Shore
25    Drive crash corridors;
26        (4) an assessment of the effectiveness of
		SB2759	- 25 -	LRB104 16561 LNS 29959 b
1    psychological deterrence in reducing habitual speeding;
2    and
3        (5) an assessment of how fatalities can be reduced
4    using these cameras powered by artificial intelligence and
5    other technical options that may be available in place of
6    cameras powered by artificial intelligence.
7    The Department shall adopt any rules necessary to
8implement this subsection (v).
