The House Transportation Committee unanimously passed Senate Bill 58, which will most likely expand the use of Red-light cameras in Missouri.

The Bill is known as the Missouri Universal Red Light Enforcement Act (MURLE) and would regulate how the cameras are to be used, in addition to sending some money to the state, via the “Red Light Enforcement Fund”. There will be a $500 fee for each camera installed and the “money in the fund shall be used to conduct audits to ensure agency compliance with the provisions of sections 304.271 to 304.281, including, but not limited to, ensuring that the agency is distributing the fines collected as required under section 304.288.”
