Bill > A07995

This bill extends the authorization for a weigh-in motion (WIM) demonstration program on Interstate Route 278 in Kings County, New York. The program allows the city of New York to install up to 16 stationary or mobile weigh-in motion monitoring systems to enforce vehicle weight restrictions. These systems can capture and record the gross vehicle weight and axle weight of vehicles, automatically producing photographs or video evidence of vehicles exceeding weight limits by 10% or more for gross weight or 20% or more for axle weight. The bill extends the program's authorization from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2030, and maintains existing privacy protections for the data collected by these systems. Vehicle owners can be held liable for penalties up to $1,000 for weight violations, with additional provisions for appealing notices, handling leased vehicles, and protecting owners if their vehicle was stolen. The city is required to submit an annual report detailing the program's operations, including the number of trucks weighed, violations recorded, and revenue generated. The bill aims to improve infrastructure management and enforce weight restrictions on a specific section of interstate highway in Brooklyn.
