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 traffic violations. Specifically, within the designated distance of a marked school zone, these cameras can only be used when a warning flasher or flashers are operating, or if children are present and the school zone lacks such warning flashers. This change aims to ensure that these cameras are only active during times when there is a clear indication of school activity or a warning to drivers about the school zone.
