Provides for service of parking tickets by mail
Bill A 2342 allows parking tickets to be served by first-class mail to vehicle owners, particularly when the operator is not present. If a notice is mailed to a post office box, the recipient is granted an additional sixty days to respond. The bill also establishes a process for waiving late fees if an owner did not timely receive a mailed ticket, provided they submit a notarized statement and pay the original fine. Additionally, it sets rules for the use of photographs in documenting parking violations, including requirements for review, limited use, privacy considerations, retention limits, and public signage.

MINOR
This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to clarify who receives parking violation notices and adds a mechanism for owners to request late fee waivers if they didn't receive mail notices in time. The changes expand the definition of who can be served with notices and add new provisions for handling late payments when mail service fails.
Scope change
The bill expands applicability by adding an operator who is not the owner but has permission to use the vehicle as a deemed agent for receiving notices, and adds a new subdivision for late fee waiver requests.
ELIGIBILITY
Added a new provision stating that operators who use a vehicle with the owner's permission are considered agents of the owner for receiving parking violation notices.
REQUIREMENT
Added a new subdivision allowing vehicle owners who didn't receive mail notices in time to submit notarized statements requesting late fee waivers if they pay the original fine.
Changed the bill numbering and committee status to reflect that it was amended and reprinted as amended.
