The Freedom from Automated Speed Enforcement Act of 2025 would penalize states that operate automated speed enforcement systems—devices that photograph vehicles exceeding speed limits without a police officer present—by withholding 10 percent of their federal highway funding. Starting in fiscal year 2027, each state's governor must annually certify that no jurisdiction within their state operates such systems, or face the funding reduction. The bill makes exceptions for automated enforcement in school zones during school hours and in active construction zones with speed limits below 55 mph and proper signage. The Department of Transportation can conduct audits and issue regulations to verify state compliance. This legislation directly affects state and local governments that currently use automated speed cameras, as well as the motorists and communities in those jurisdictions.
