S 8607 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

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

This bill authorizes the city of Kingston to install and operate a demonstration program of speed cameras in up to three school zones to monitor vehicle speeds during school hours and related activities. Under the new law, vehicle owners could be held financially liable if the operator of their car exceeds posted speed limits in these zones, with liability notices issued based on photographic evidence. The program includes strict requirements for equipment calibration, operator training, and privacy protections, ensuring that images do not identify drivers or passengers unless necessary and that records are destroyed after cases are resolved. The authorization for this demonstration program is set to expire on December 31, 2029.
