S 9108 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to traffic-control signal indications; Albany

This bill updates traffic laws specifically for the city of Albany to clarify how vehicle owners are held responsible when drivers fail to obey traffic signals. It modifies existing state statutes to extend the duration of certain liability provisions, ensuring they remain in effect until December 1, 2029, rather than expiring earlier. The legislation also establishes a timeline for local officials to create necessary rules that will help enforce these changes once they take effect. By amending sections of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, the bill directly impacts drivers and vehicle owners within Albany's jurisdiction.
