Bill > A08506

This bill authorizes the village of Quogue in Suffolk County to establish a demonstration program that allows the use of photo speed violation monitoring systems to enforce speed limits. Under this program, the village can install up to five stationary or mobile camera systems at locations selected based on criteria like proximity to schools, speeding data, accident history, and proximity to senior or disabled facilities. The system will automatically photograph vehicles speeding and send a notice of liability to the vehicle's owner, with fines ranging from $50 for speeds 10-30 miles over the limit to $100 for speeds 30 miles or more over the limit. Importantly, these violations will not be considered moving violations and will not affect the owner's driving record or insurance. The owner can contest the ticket or seek indemnification from the actual driver if they were not operating the vehicle. The program includes strict regulations for camera system operation, including daily self-tests, annual calibration, and privacy protections to ensure images do not identify drivers or passengers. The village must submit annual reports on the program's results, and the authorization will expire on December 1, 2030.
