Legislature traffic camera rules move in House
In Des Moines a House committee advanced a bill to let the Iowa Department of Transportation set statewide rules for automated traffic enforcement devices. Rep. Art Staed argued the legislation aims to ban cameras, while supporters say it would provide consistency and oversight. The measure would not apply to local streets except where connected to the state system.
