FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1426 by Williams (Relating to the installation, operation, and maintenance of automatic license plate identification cameras on a highway.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to enter into an agreement with the Department of Public Safety (DPS) or the federal law enforcement agency to install, maintain, and operate an automatic license plate identification camera on state highway right-of-way. The bill would prescribe general terms for such an agreement and purposes for which images produced by the camera may be used.
Based on the analysis of TxDOT and DPS, it is assumed any costs or duties associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
