Senate adopts changes to automated speed-camera rules, increases transparency and warning thresholds

May 4, 2026

Senate Bill 152 was adopted after amendments that raise warning thresholds, require signage and public notice, and limit vendor revenue incentives by mandating flat fees. The bill restructures fines and adds a $120 fine for 25+ mph over the limit.

The full story

The Colorado Senate approved Senate Bill 152, which modifies rules governing automated vehicle identification systems and speed-camera enforcement. Sponsor remarks on the floor described several substantive changes adopted through committee-report amendments: the bill raises the threshold for a warning-only response to 1–5 mph over the limit (so that fines won't be imposed for the smallest overages), requires municipal signage and social-media notice for camera locations, and caps vendor compensation by specifying flat monthly or hourly fees rather than revenue-contingent contracts.
