Bill > A04710

This bill allows six specific villages in Nassau and Suffolk counties (Upper Brookville, Flower Hill, East Hampton, Westbury, Saddle Rock, and Southampton) to create a demonstration program that enables them to install and operate stop sign photo violation monitoring systems. Under this program, vehicle owners can be held financially responsible for up to $50 if the vehicle's operator fails to stop at a stop sign, as documented by these monitoring systems. The bill provides detailed guidelines for implementing the program, including requirements for notices of liability, privacy protections for photographs, and adjudication processes. Notably, the bill stipulates that such a violation will not be considered a criminal conviction and will not affect the owner's driving record or insurance rates. The villages participating in the program must submit annual reports to state leadership detailing the implementation and outcomes of their stop sign monitoring systems, including data on accidents, violations, fines, and program expenses. The act will take effect 90 days after becoming law, and it is officially named the "protect our pedestrians (POP) act".
