AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-8-198, to place new restrictions on the use of unmanned traffic enforcement cameras, which are automated systems used to detect and ticket traffic violations. Specifically, the bill limits the operation of these cameras within the designated distance of a marked school zone to only those times when a warning flasher or flashers are active, or if children are present in the school zone and there are no warning flashers. This change aims to ensure that these cameras are only used to enforce school zone speed limits when there is a clear indication of potential danger to children, either through active warning lights or the actual presence of students.
