Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Section 41-1722, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
41-1722. State photo enforcement system; penalties; fund; public agency photo enforcement contracts
A. Notwithstanding any other law and except as provided in subsection E of this section, the department shall enter into a contract or contracts with a private vendor or vendors pursuant to chapter 23 of this title to establish a state photo enforcement system consisting of cameras placed throughout this state as determined by the director to enforce the provisions of title 28, chapter 3, articles 3 and 6 relating to vehicle traffic and speed.
B. Notwithstanding any other law, the civil penalty or fine for a citation or a notice of violation issued pursuant to this section is one hundred sixty-five dollars and is not subject to any surcharge except the surcharge imposed by section 16‑954.
C. The photo enforcement fund is established consisting of monies received from citations or notices of violation issued pursuant to this section. The director shall administer the fund. Monies in the fund are subject to legislative appropriation and are appropriated to the department for administrative and personnel costs of the state photo enforcement system. Monies remaining in the fund in excess of two hundred fifty thousand dollars at the end of each calendar quarter shall be deposited, pursuant to sections 35-146 and 35-147, in the state general fund.
D. Notwithstanding any other law, if a person is found responsible for a civil traffic violation or a notice of violation pursuant to a citation issued pursuant to this section, the department of transportation shall not consider the violation for the purpose of determining whether the person's driver license should be suspended or revoked. A court shall only transmit abstracts of records of these violations to the department of transportation for commercial driver license holders.
E. A public agency of this state, including the department, shall not enter into a new contract or renew an existing contract that authorizes photo enforcement.
