Bill > S07946

This bill authorizes the village of Quogue in Suffolk County to establish a demonstration program for speed enforcement using photo speed violation monitoring systems (cameras) that can issue monetary penalties to vehicle owners when their vehicle is caught speeding. The program allows the village to use up to five stationary or mobile camera locations, which must be selected based on specific criteria like proximity to schools, accident history, and roadway geometry. Vehicle owners can be fined up to $50 for speeds 10-30 miles over the limit, and up to $100 for speeds over 30 miles above the limit, with potential additional penalties for not responding to violation notices. The bill includes detailed provisions for system operation, including requirements for camera calibration, daily testing, and privacy protections that limit the use and storage of images. The system is designed to not identify drivers in the images, and the violation will not be considered a moving violation that affects insurance or driving records. The program is a time-limited demonstration that will expire on December 1, 2030, and the village is required to submit annual reports to state legislators about the program's implementation and results.
