Relates to adjudications and owner liability for a violation of traffic-control signal indications in the city of Peekskill
This bill allows the city of Peekskill to implement a photo enforcement program for traffic violations at traffic signals. It holds vehicle owners liable for penalties when a photo system captures a violation (like running a red light), not the driver, with notices sent directly to owners. Key provisions require photos to anonymize drivers and passengers, limit penalties to $50 per violation (plus $25 for late response), and ensure no impact on driver's license records or insurance. The program is limited to nine intersections at a time and must comply with specific privacy safeguards in photo collection.

MINOR
This bill was amended to remove jurisdictional limits on where traffic cameras can be installed within the city of Peekskill and to add a provision allowing parking violations bureaus to set fines for owner liability. The changes expand the city's flexibility in deploying traffic enforcement technology and clarify how fines are administered.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded by removing the geographic restriction limiting camera installations to nine specific intersections within the city, allowing the city to install cameras at up to nine intersections anywhere within its jurisdiction. Additionally, a new enforcement mechanism was added allowing parking violations bureaus to promulgate fine schedules.
REQUIREMENT
Removed the requirement that traffic cameras be installed at no more than nine specific intersections within and under the jurisdiction of the city, replacing it with a broader allowance for up to nine intersections anywhere within the city.
ENFORCEMENT
Added a provision allowing cities to authorize parking violations bureaus to promulgate schedules of fines and penalties for owner liability violations.
