House Bill 343 passed the Maryland General Assembly on Monday and will be presented to the Governor for his signature. As of this writing, the Senate cross-file, SB 390, is identical and one step from final passage.

The bill enables trained technicians to review speed camera images and issue citations, providing local governments additional flexibility in how to run their speed camera program. Prior to issuing a citation, the technician or law enforcement officer must first receive reasonable training.
