The Illinois House Transportation: Vehicles and Safety Committee on Wednesday advanced legislation State Representative David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, is sponsoring to ban red light cameras in non-home rule communities in Illinois. House Bill 322 would prohibit non-home rule units of government from enacting or enforcing red light camera ordinances. A non-home rule unit is the form of government for either a county that does not have a chief executive officer elected by the electors of the county or a municipality that has a population of 25,000 or less, according to the Illinois Department of Revenue. McSweeney passed the same bill in the House in 2015 and he says it was then killed by former Senator Martin Sandoval.
