Plain Language Summary

# Freedom from Automated Speed Enforcement Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Freedom from Automated Speed Enforcement Act of 2025 would restrict or prohibit the use of automated speed enforcement systems—primarily red light cameras and speed cameras—that issue traffic citations without direct police officer involvement. If passed, the bill would limit how states and municipalities can use these camera-based enforcement tools. **Who It Affects** This legislation would impact local governments and states that currently operate automated enforcement programs, as well as drivers who receive citations from these systems.

It could also affect private companies that operate and maintain these camera systems. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee (as of the 119th Congress), meaning it has been assigned to a committee for review and discussion but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Pat Harrigan (R-NC). *Note: Specific provisions of the bill are not detailed in the information provided, so readers may want to consult Congress.gov for the full legislative text to understand the exact restrictions proposed.*.
