Bill > S04646

This bill establishes a new provision for suspending vehicle registrations for repeated speeding violations in highway construction or maintenance work areas, specifically on controlled-access highways. Under this legislation, if a vehicle owner receives five or more monetary liability notices for speeding within an 18-month period in these work zones (as documented by photo speed violation monitoring systems), their vehicle registration will be suspended for 90 days. The bill amends the vehicle and traffic law to require that notices of liability now include a warning about potential registration suspension if multiple violations occur. The new law will apply to violations committed one year after the bill becomes law, and it is designed to enhance safety in highway work areas by creating a stronger deterrent against repeated speeding. The photo speed violation monitoring systems will track these infractions, and the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles will be responsible for implementing the registration suspension when the specified threshold of violations is reached.
