Bill > A00975

This bill modifies New York State vehicle and traffic law to suspend vehicle registration for 90 days if a vehicle has been documented five or more times within an 18-month period by a traffic-control signal photo violation monitoring device (commonly known as red-light cameras) for failing to obey traffic signals. The bill requires that each notice of liability issued through these camera systems include a warning that five or more violations within 18 months will result in a 90-day vehicle registration suspension. This means that if a vehicle's owner receives five separate notices of liability for running red lights (captured by automated cameras) within an 18-month period, the New York Department of Motor Vehicles will automatically suspend that vehicle's registration for three months. The law is designed to discourage repeated traffic signal violations and improve roadway safety by creating a more significant consequence for habitual red-light runners. The bill will take effect one year after becoming law and will apply to violations committed on or after that date.
