Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Section 28-1201, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
28-1201. Definition of photo enforcement system
In this article, unless the context otherwise requires, "photo enforcement system" has the same meaning prescribed in section 28‑601 and includes a state photo enforcement system established pursuant to section 41‑1722.
Sec. 2. Section 28-1593, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
28-1593. Service of uniform traffic complaint

A traffic complaint may be served by delivering a copy of the uniform traffic complaint citation to the person charged with the violation or by any means authorized by the rules of civil procedure. At the discretion of the issuing authority, a complaint for a violation issued after an investigation in conjunction with a traffic accident may be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested and delivered to addressee only, to the address provided by the person charged with the violation. Service of the complaint is complete on filing the receipt in the court having jurisdiction of the violation.

C. Notwithstanding subsection B of this section, a civil traffic violation issued pursuant to section 41‑1722 may be issued pursuant to a notice of violation before a citation is filed in court.
D. If a person fails to respond to the notice of violation or contests responsibility, a uniform traffic complaint citation shall be served and filed as otherwise provided in this section.
