Bill > S07945

This bill authorizes the village of East Hampton in Suffolk County to establish a demonstration program for automated speed enforcement, allowing the village to use photo speed violation monitoring systems at up to five locations to capture and issue monetary penalties to vehicle owners when their vehicles exceed posted speed limits. The program requires detailed operational guidelines, including precise system testing, calibration, and privacy protections. Specifically, the systems must be placed strategically near schools, areas with senior or disabled facilities, and locations with high accident rates. The monetary penalties are limited to $50 for speeds 10-30 miles over the limit and $100 for speeds over 30 miles per hour, with potential additional fines for failure to respond to notices. The bill mandates that all revenue generated from the program be dedicated to local law enforcement purposes. Importantly, these speed violations will not be considered criminal convictions, will not affect driving records, and will not impact insurance rates. The village must submit annual reports to state leadership detailing the program's implementation and results, and the demonstration program is set to expire on December 1, 2030.
