HB725

Mississippi HB725 would prohibit counties and municipalities from using automated recording equipment to enforce automobile insurance requirements.

Mississippi HB725 amends Section 17-25-19 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to prevent the board of supervisors of any county or the governing authority of any municipality from enacting or enforcing ordinances that authorize the use of automated recording equipment to enforce compliance with automobile insurance requirements. The bill defines "automated recording equipment or system" as a camera or optical device designed to record images of license plates of vehicles not complying with traffic signals or speed limits. The act mandates the removal of such equipment by October 1, 2026.
