S 9453: Relates to adjudications and owner liability for a violation of traffic-control signal indications in the city of Poughkeepsie

This bill authorizes the city of Poughkeepsie to implement a demonstration program that holds vehicle owners financially responsible for traffic signal violations committed by drivers operating the vehicle with the owner's permission. The program would allow the city to install photo monitoring cameras at up to nine intersections to automatically capture evidence of red light or signal violations, with protections ensuring driver identities are not shown in the images. If the owner is charged, they would face a maximum penalty of $50 per violation, plus an additional $25 fee for failing to respond to the notice, and the violation would not count as a criminal conviction or affect insurance rates. Owners can contest the charges through a traffic violations bureau or court, and the bill includes a defense if the vehicle was reported stolen at the time of the violation.
