S 10564: Establishes a school speed zone camera demonstration program in the city of Yonkers

This bill authorizes the city of Yonkers to install and operate a demonstration program of cameras that issue fines to vehicle owners for speeding in school zones. The program would allow the city to place up to 25 cameras in specific zones during school hours, including times before and after school and during student activities. To ensure accuracy and privacy, the bill requires regular equipment testing, independent calibration checks, and mandates that images generally exclude the driver or passengers unless reasonable efforts to do so fail. Additionally, the bill restricts how these images can be used, limiting them primarily to issuing liability notices and allowing access only to vehicle owners or through specific legal processes like search warrants. The authorization for this program is set to expire on December 31, 2031.

A 10391: Relates to adjudications and owner liability for a violation of traffic-control signal indications in the city of Poughkeepsie

This bill authorizes the city of Poughkeepsie to implement a program that holds vehicle owners financially responsible for traffic signal violations committed by drivers operating their cars with permission. The program allows the city to install photo monitoring cameras at up to nine intersections to automatically detect and document red light or stop sign violations. If a violation is captured, the registered owner of the vehicle may be issued a penalty notice, but the owner can contest the charge and is not personally liable if the vehicle was reported stolen at the time of the violation. The bill also ensures that these owner liability penalties do not count as criminal convictions and will not affect the owner's driving record or auto insurance rates.
