MODERATE
This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to establish a new suspension mechanism for vehicles that accumulate five or more speed violations in highway construction zones within an 18-month period. It replaces the previous demonstration program's lower thresholds and adds new requirements for certifying these liability findings to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Scope change
The bill expands the scope of registration suspensions to include violations occurring in highway construction or maintenance work areas on controlled-access highways, shifting the threshold from four violations to five violations.
REQUIREMENT
Creates a new section requiring the suspension of vehicle registration for a period of ninety days if an owner receives five or more notices of liability for speed violations in highway construction zones within an 18-month period.
ENFORCEMENT
Amends existing procedures to require courts to certify findings of liability for these specific construction zone violations to the commissioner, ensuring the Department of Motor Vehicles can enforce the new suspension rule.
TIMELINE
Changes the effective date of the act to one year after it becomes law, allowing time for necessary rule-making, whereas the previous version took effect immediately.
ELIGIBILITY
Removes the exclusion for rental vehicles that was present in the original demonstration program text.
