The committee advanced a proposal that would require the State Highway Administration to approve or reject local-government requests to place speed monitoring systems on state highways within 120 days.
The clerk explained the intent: if a municipality requests a speed monitoring system on a state highway and the application complies with existing law (for example, a school-zone monitoring system on Route 355), SHA would have 120 days to respond. The subcommittee had previously voted the measure out; the committee adopted it and recorded several delegates as opposed during the roll call.
Committee members registered opposition names on the record; the clerk noted the item had previously been heard by the subcommittee.
