Parkway Safety and Reinvestment Act

This bill would allow the Secretary of the Interior to issue citations and civil penalties to the responsible party when a speed safety camera records a vehicle breaking traffic rules on a highway run by the Interior Department inside a National Park System unit. A civil penalty could be assessed only after the responsible party gets notice and a chance for a hearing. The Secretary could spend the money collected from these citations, without further approval from Congress, on building and maintaining highways and parking areas in the park unit where the citation was issued, and on installing and maintaining the cameras. The Secretary could contract with outside parties to install, repair, maintain, or replace the cameras, and could use the cameras only as allowed by the law of the state where the highway is located.
