Directs the commissioner of motor vehicles to conduct a study on the distribution of traffic fines
This bill (S 2119) orders the New York State Motor Vehicles Commissioner to study how traffic fine revenue is distributed across different jurisdictions. The study must examine factors like where violations occurred (state vs. local roads), which specific traffic laws were broken (especially Section 1180), and revenue caps for smaller towns and villages. The Commissioner must complete this study and submit a report with findings and recommendations for fairer revenue distribution by December 31, 2026. This bill does not change current laws but directs a review of the existing system for traffic fine revenue.
