S 10564: Establishes a school speed zone camera demonstration program in the city of Yonkers

This bill authorizes the city of Yonkers to install and operate a demonstration program of cameras that issue fines to vehicle owners for speeding in school zones. The program would allow the city to place up to 25 cameras in specific zones during school hours, including times before and after school and during student activities. To ensure accuracy and privacy, the bill requires regular equipment testing, independent calibration checks, and mandates that images generally exclude the driver or passengers unless reasonable efforts to do so fail. Additionally, the bill restricts how these images can be used, limiting them primarily to issuing liability notices and allowing access only to vehicle owners or through specific legal processes like search warrants. The authorization for this program is set to expire on December 31, 2031.

S 9586: Prohibits the operation of N.Y. city transit authority subways or trains without a conductor on board
