Bill > S08344

This bill extends and makes technical corrections to a demonstration program in New York City related to speed violation monitoring systems in school speed zones. Specifically, the bill repeals certain existing subdivisions in the vehicle and traffic law and amends Chapter 189 of the 2013 laws to add a new provision allowing adjudication of liability for vehicle owners in school speed zones when traffic violations are detected by photo devices. The bill extends the program's expiration date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2030, and makes several technical amendments to clarify how speed violations will be processed and handled. The legislation applies specifically to cities with a population of one million or more (which means New York City), and it aims to continue the existing photo-based speed enforcement program in school zones with some procedural updates. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with certain sections set to expire in 2030, allowing continued implementation of the school zone speed monitoring system.
