Bill > S07946

This bill authorizes the village of Quogue in Suffolk County to establish a demonstration program that imposes monetary liability on vehicle owners when their vehicle's operator exceeds posted speed limits. The program allows the village to use up to five photo speed violation monitoring systems (cameras) that can be stationary or mobile, with camera locations selected based on criteria like proximity to schools, speeding data, accident history, and proximity to senior or disabled facilities. The bill includes detailed provisions for system operation, including requirements for daily operator logs, annual calibration checks, and privacy protections for recorded images. 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 per hour, with an additional $25 penalty for not responding to a liability notice. The program is designed to be a civil penalty system that does not result in points on a driver's license or affect insurance rates. The village must submit annual reports to state leadership detailing the program's operation, including violation numbers, revenue generated, and adjudication results. The demonstration program will be in effect until December 1, 2030, after which it will be automatically repealed.
