This bill authorizes the city of Ithaca to implement a demonstration program using speed cameras in school zones to enforce speed limits and hold vehicle owners financially responsible for violations. The program would allow the city to install photo monitoring systems in up to twelve school zones, with strict rules requiring annual calibration, operator training, and advance public signage. Images captured by the cameras would generally not identify drivers or passengers and would be destroyed after legal cases are resolved, with limited exceptions for law enforcement investigations. The authorization for this demonstration program would expire on December 31, 2030.
