Bill > A04523

This bill establishes a demonstration program in New York City for using street cleaning vehicle photo devices to enforce street cleaning parking rules. The program allows the city's Department of Sanitation to install cameras on street cleaning vehicles to capture images of vehicles parked illegally during street cleaning times. If a vehicle is found in violation, the owner will receive a notice of liability and be subject to a fine of up to $50, with an additional $25 penalty for failing to respond to the notice. The bill includes several key provisions to protect privacy, such as requiring that images not identify drivers or passengers when possible, and limiting the use and storage of these images. The devices must be clearly marked, and the first 60 days will involve only warning notices. The city must submit biennial reports on the program's implementation and results, including details on violations, revenues, and street cleaning routes. The bill also makes various technical amendments to existing laws to incorporate this new enforcement mechanism, such as updating rules about registration denial and surcharges. The demonstration program is set to expire on July 1, 2030, and will take effect one year after becoming law.
