Hawaii SB96 establishes traffic cameras to enforce traffic laws and imposes penalties for damaging them.
Hawaii SB96 amends the state's traffic laws to allow the Department of Law Enforcement to establish and implement traffic cameras. These cameras will impose monetary liability on the registered owner of a motor vehicle for traffic violations that do not require physical arrest. The bill mandates a comprehensive educational campaign before cameras become operational and requires warnings during the first 30 days of operation. It also prohibits the use of fines or revenue as compensation for camera services. Damaging a traffic camera is classified as a class C felony.
