Alaska HB282 restricts municipal authority to ban automated traffic safety cameras.

HB282 amends Alaska law to reserve the authority to regulate automated traffic safety cameras to the state. Municipalities are prohibited from banning these cameras, except as specifically allowed by statute. This applies to both home rule and general law municipalities. The bill defines "automated traffic safety camera" as a device that works with traffic control systems or speed measuring devices to record images of vehicles that fail to stop at red lights or railroad crossings.
