Bill > S02108

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to modify how parking tickets are served and processed. The bill introduces the option to serve parking tickets by first-class mail, providing additional time for vehicle owners to respond when tickets are mailed to a post office box address. If an owner did not receive the initial ticket in a timely manner, they can submit a notarized statement explaining the situation, pay the original fine, and have late fees waived. The bill also establishes new guidelines for photographic documentation of parking violations, including requiring municipal employee review of photos, limiting photo use to parking enforcement, attempting to avoid capturing identifiable driver or passenger images, retaining photos only as long as necessary (up to 90 days), and mandating signage indicating camera enforcement is in use. The legislation aims to create a more flexible and transparent process for parking ticket service, giving vehicle owners more opportunities to address violations while also setting clear standards for how photographic evidence can be collected and used in parking enforcement.
