A 4536 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes a plea of guilty and the payment of fines or penalties electronically via the internet

This bill allows drivers charged with most traffic violations (excluding repeat speeding offenses) to electronically submit a guilty plea and pay fines online instead of appearing in court. It requires defendants to submit an online application detailing the charge, waiving their right to a court hearing, and agreeing to pay the fine under penalty of perjury. The fine remains "tentative" until fully paid online through a court-prescribed method. This change applies to violations under New York's Vehicle and Traffic Law and aims to streamline processing for eligible cases.
