MODERATE
This bill version was updated to add more sponsors and expand the law to include the General Municipal Law. The core changes focus on who must install speed limiters, when they must do so, and how the system works.
Scope change
The bill now applies to the General Municipal Law in addition to the Vehicle and Traffic Law, and introduces a new mechanism for municipalities without photo speed cameras to require speed limiters from their top speed violators.
SCOPE

The bill now amends both the Vehicle and Traffic Law and the General Municipal Law, broadening its legal reach.

ELIGIBILITY

The threshold for requiring a speed limiter was changed from eleven points in twenty-four months to eleven points in eighteen months.

A new provision allows municipalities without photo speed cameras to require speed limiters from their top one percent of speed violators.

The number of photo speed violation notices required to trigger a speed limiter requirement increased from six to sixteen within twelve months.

ENFORCEMENT

Added a new hearing process where an administrative tribunal or traffic violations bureau determines if a person must install a speed limiter.

DEFINITION

The definition of the speed limiter was updated to reference maximum speed limits established under Title Eight, Article Thirty of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
