Iowa Rep. proposes bill to regulate traffic cameras, keeping fines local and out of private hands.

Iowa State Rep. Henry Stone proposes new legislation, House File 3, to regulate traffic cameras, aiming to keep traffic fines within the state and prevent cities from using private companies for enforcement and collections. The bill also seeks to stop the use of income tax refunds to settle traffic fines. Proponents argue for local control and increased police presence, while opponents claim current systems are efficient and any changes could raise costs for cities.
