S 9305 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to adjudications and owner liability for a violation of traffic-control signal indications in the town of Greenburgh

This bill authorizes the Town of Greenburgh to implement a local program that holds vehicle owners financially responsible for traffic signal violations committed by drivers operating the car with their permission. Under this new system, the town can install cameras at up to two intersections to automatically capture evidence of red-light or other signal violations without identifying the driver or passengers in the photos. If an owner receives a notice of liability, they must pay a fine of up to fifty dollars per violation, though this penalty does not count as a criminal conviction or affect insurance rates. The law also includes specific defenses, such as proving the vehicle was stolen or providing proof that the car was rented out on the date of the violation.
