Bill Overview
On Monday, Kamloops–North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar Stamer’s Bill M217, which proposes mandatory dashboard cameras for all commercial trucks operating in British Columbia, successfully passed its second reading in the legislature at Victoria. The bill received unanimous bipartisan support, marking a significant step toward its possible adoption into law.
Purpose and Goals
The proposed legislation aims to improve road safety, transparency, and accountability in the commercial transport sector. By mandating the use of dash cams, the bill seeks to provide verifiable evidence in case of accidents, reduce false claims, and support law enforcement in investigations involving large vehicles.
Next Steps
Following the successful second reading, Bill M217 now moves forward to the committee stage, where it will undergo a more detailed review and discussion before a potential third reading and final approval.
“This bill represents a practical and modern step toward making our roads safer for everyone,” Stamer said during the debate.
If passed, the legislation would make British Columbia one of the first provinces in Canada to introduce a provincewide dash cam requirement for commercial fleets.
Author’s summary: The bill mandating dash cams in commercial trucks has passed its second reading in B.C.’s legislature with full bipartisan support, advancing to the committee stage for review.
