Bill > S08329

This bill authorizes the town of Ramapo to establish a school speed zone demonstration program that allows the installation of photo speed violation monitoring systems in up to twenty school speed zones. The program would impose monetary liability on vehicle owners when their vehicle is caught speeding in these zones, specifically when traveling more than ten miles per hour above the posted speed limit during school hours, one hour before and after school hours, and during student activities. The bill provides detailed provisions for how these speed monitoring systems must be implemented, including requirements for system testing, calibration, signage, and privacy protections for images captured. The photo speed violation monitoring systems must be designed to minimize identifying individuals in the images, and the maximum penalty for a violation would be fifty dollars, with an additional potential twenty-five-dollar penalty for failing to respond to the notice of liability. The town is required to submit an annual report to state officials detailing the program's outcomes, including information about violations, crashes, and revenues. The demonstration program is set to expire on December 1, 2031, and the bill includes provisions to ensure that the implementation of the program follows existing municipal law and guidelines.
