Bill > S05775

This bill amends the New York State vehicle and traffic law to implement a new vehicle registration suspension system for drivers who repeatedly fail to obey traffic control signals as captured by photo violation monitoring devices. Specifically, if a vehicle's owner receives five or more monetary liability notices within an eighteen-month period for running red lights (captured by traffic signal cameras), the Department of Motor Vehicles will automatically suspend the vehicle's registration for 90 days. The bill requires that each notice of liability include a warning to vehicle owners about this potential registration suspension consequence. The law will take effect one year after becoming law and will apply to violations committed on or after that date. By creating this penalty, the bill aims to discourage repeated traffic signal violations and improve road safety by using automated enforcement technology to track and penalize drivers who consistently ignore traffic control signals.
