Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the city of Schenectady to create a program that holds vehicle owners financially responsible for traffic light violations committed by drivers operating the car with the owner's permission. Under the proposed system, cameras would capture images of red-light running at up to twelve intersections, and owners would receive a notice of liability if the driver was not previously convicted of the offense. The bill sets a maximum fine of fifty dollars per violation and includes protections such as excluding driver identity from photos and preventing the penalty from affecting insurance rates or criminal records. Additionally, it provides a defense for owners if the vehicle was reported stolen at the time of the violation and outlines the process for contesting the charges.
