This resolution proposes a voter-approved prohibition on photo enforcement systems in Arizona. Currently, local authorities and state agencies can use these systems to identify speeding or traffic violation offenders. However, this measure requires local authorities to obtain voter approval before continuing to operate such systems, and if approval is not received, operations must cease within 90 days. The resolution also establishes a process for renewing voter approval every ten years.
