Bill > S07955

This bill expands the use and adjudication of traffic infractions captured by cameras, particularly focusing on school bus stop-arm cameras and speed cameras in work zones. It allows for the creation of "traffic-camera violations bureaus" in counties, towns, and villages to handle these infractions, and clarifies that monetary liability for these violations can be based on either the number of summonses or the total amount of fines. The bill also introduces provisions for remote adjudication of these violations through online video conferencing or mail, and clarifies that images captured by school bus cameras cannot be used for federal immigration enforcement. Additionally, it addresses privacy concerns by limiting the use and dissemination of captured images and information, and mandates signage to inform drivers about the presence of these camera systems. The bill also makes technical amendments to various sections of the vehicle and traffic law to align with these changes.
