SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Red-light enforcement cameras would be banned in some suburban Chicago communities under legislation that won House committee approval Wednesday.

The measure is sponsored by Rep. David McSweeney, a Republican from Barrington Hills.

It would ban photo enforcement of traffic violations in some Chicago suburbs. McSweeney and other critics complain they are unfair revenue-generators. They were spotlighted last week with the guilty pleas of an ex-state senator who admitted taking bribes in part from a red-light vendor in exchange for being a “protector”of the industry in the General Assembly.
