Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Expands the definition of "automated traffic law enforcement system" from a device with one or more motor vehicle sensors working in conjunction with a red light signal to produce recorded images of motor vehicles entering an intersection against a red signal indication in violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or similar local ordinance to also include a device used in a location that has a high occurrence of motor vehicle accidents and where insufficient police manpower exists or on-site enforcement is inherently difficult that produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle and the vehicle's registration plate while the driver is operating a motor vehicle in violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or similar local ordinance. Provides the same provisions as before the expansion of the definition for civil penalties, administrative adjudication, driver notice automated traffic law enforcement locations, and limited application only the in counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair, and Will and to municipalities located within those counties, among other provisions. Reduces the application of a home rule preemption and eliminates a similar preemption that disallows the use of recorded images to capture the speed of a motor vehicle for the purposes of enforcing any law or local ordinance regarding a minimum or maximum speed limit unless a law enforcement officer is present to witness the event. Effective January 1, 2010.
