S 10196 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a school speed zone camera demonstration program in the city of Amsterdam

This bill authorizes the city of Amsterdam to run a demonstration program using speed cameras in up to five school zones to hold vehicle owners financially liable for speeding violations committed by drivers. The program would only operate during specific times, such as school hours and student activities, and requires strict safety measures including regular equipment calibration, operator training, and clear advance warning signs for drivers. To protect privacy, the bill mandates that images taken by these cameras generally exclude the driver and passengers, and it restricts access to these photos primarily to the city, the vehicle owner, and law enforcement under specific legal conditions. The authorization for this pilot program is set to expire on December 31, 2031.
