2/15/07-SB871 has been incorporated into SB829, which has been forwarded to the House floor.

2/1/07-The Senate voted 30-10 Monday, Jan. 29, that would allow localities throughout the state to use cameras to catch red-light runners.
The photo-monitoring systems snap pictures of vehicles approaching intersections and another image while vehicles are in intersections. Tickets are mailed to vehicle owners, regardless who was driving at the time.
Sponsored by Sen. John Watkins, R-Midlothian, SB871 would permit counties, cities or towns to adopt ordinances to install cameras at up to 25 intersections.
The bill now heads to the House for further consideration.
