Introduced by Sen. BONACIC -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation
AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the general municipal
law, in relation to owner liability for failure of operator to comply
with traffic-control indications; and providing for the repeal of such
provisions upon expiration thereof
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new
2 section 1111-f to read as follows:
3 § 1111-f. Owner liability for failure of operator to comply with
4 traffic-control indications. (a) 1. Notwithstanding any other provision
5 of law, the town of Wallkill, in the county of Orange is hereby author-
6 ized and empowered to adopt and amend a local law or ordinance estab-
7 lishing a demonstration program imposing monetary liability on the owner
8 of a vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to comply with traffic-
9 control indications in such town in accordance with the provisions of
10 this section. Such demonstration program shall empower such town to
11 install and operate traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring
12 devices at no more than four intersections within such town at any one
13 time.
14 2. Such demonstration program shall utilize necessary technologies to
15 ensure, to the extent practicable, that photographs produced by such
16 traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring systems shall not
17 include images that identify the driver, the passengers, or the contents
18 of the vehicle. Provided, however, that no notice of liability issued
19 pursuant to this section shall be dismissed solely because a photograph
20 or photographs allow for the identification of the contents of a vehi-
21 cle, provided that such town has made a reasonable effort to comply with
22 the provisions of this paragraph.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

2 ant to subdivision (a) of this section, the owner of a vehicle shall be
3 liable for a penalty imposed pursuant to this section of such vehicle
4 was used or operated with the permission of the owner, express or
5 implied, in violation of subdivision (d) of section eleven hundred elev-
6 en of this article, and such violation is evidenced by information
7 obtained from a traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring
8 system; provided however that no owner of a vehicle shall be liable for
9 a penalty imposed pursuant to this section where the operator of such
10 vehicle has been convicted of the underlying violation of subdivision
11 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article.
12 (c) For purposes of this section, "owner" shall have the meaning
13 provided in article two-B of this chapter. For purposes of this section,
14 "traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring system" shall mean a
15 vehicle sensor installed to work in conjunction with a traffic-control
16 signal which automatically produces two or more photographs, two or more
17 microphotographs, a videotape or other recorded images of each vehicle
18 at the time it is used or operated in violation of subdivision (d) of
19 section eleven hundred eleven of this article.
20 (d) A certificate, sworn to or affirmed by a technician employed by
21 the town of Wallkill in which the charged violation occurred, or a
22 facsimile thereof, based upon inspection of photographs, microphoto-
23 graphs, videotape or other recorded images produced by traffic-control
24 signal photo violation-monitoring system, shall be prima facie evidence
25 of the facts contained therein. Any photographs, microphotographs, vide-
26 otape or other recorded images evidencing such a violation shall be
27 available for inspection in any proceeding to adjudicate the liability
28 for such violation pursuant to a local law or ordinance adopted pursuant
29 to this section.
30 (e) An owner liable for a violation of subdivision (d) of section
31 eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to a local law or ordi-
32 nance adopted pursuant to this section shall be liable for monetary
33 penalties in accordance with a schedule of fines and penalties to be set
34 forth in such local law or ordinance, except that if such town by local
35 law has authorized the adjudication of such owner liability by a parking
36 violations bureau, such schedule shall be promulgated by such bureau.
37 The liability of the owner pursuant to this section shall not exceed
38 fifty dollars for each violation; provided, however, that such local law
39 or ordinance may provide for an additional penalty not in excess of
40 twenty-five dollars for each violation for the failure to respond to a
41 notice of liability within the prescribed time period.
42 (f) An imposition of liability under a local law or ordinance adopted
43 pursuant to this section shall not be deemed a conviction as an operator
44 and shall not be made part of the operating record of the person upon
45 whom such liability is imposed nor shall it be used for insurance
46 purposes in the provision of motor vehicle insurance coverage.
47 (g) 1. A notice of liability shall be sent by first class mail to each
48 person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of subdivision
49 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this
50 section. Personal delivery on the owner shall not be required. A manual
51 or automatic record of mailing prepared in the ordinary course of busi-
52 ness shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein.
53 2. A notice of liability shall contain the name and address of the
54 person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of subdivision
55 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this
56 section, the registration number of the vehicle involved in such
S. 1696 3
1 violation, the location where such violation took place, the date and
2 time of such violation and the identification number of the camera which
3 recorded the violation or other document locator number.
4 3. The notice of liability shall contain information advising the
5 person charged of the manner and the time in which he or she may contest
6 the liability alleged in the notice. Such notice of liability shall also
7 contain a warning to advise the persons charged that failure to contest
8 in the manner and time provided shall be deemed an admission of liabil-
9 ity and that a default judgment may be entered thereon.
10 4. The notice of liability shall be prepared and mailed by the town of
11 Wallkill, or by any other entity authorized by such town to prepare and
12 mail such notification of violation.
13 (h) Adjudication of the liability imposed upon owners by this section
14 shall be by a traffic violations bureau established pursuant to section
15 three hundred seventy of the general municipal law or, if there be none,
16 by the court having jurisdiction over traffic infractions.
17 (i) If an owner receives a notice of liability pursuant to this
18 section for any time period during which the vehicle was reported to the
19 police department as having been stolen, it shall be a valid defense to
20 an allegation of liability for a violation of subdivision (d) of section
21 eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this section that the
22 vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen prior to the time the
23 violation occurred and had not been recovered by such time. For purposes
24 of asserting the defense provided by this subdivision it shall be suffi-
25 cient that a certified copy of the police report on the stolen vehicle
26 be sent by first class mail to the traffic violations bureau, court
27 having jurisdiction or parking violations bureau.
28 (j) 1. In such town where the adjudication of liability imposed upon
29 owners pursuant to this section is by a traffic violations bureau or a
30 court having jurisdiction, an owner who is a lessor of a vehicle to
31 which a notice of liability was issued pursuant to subdivision (g) of
32 this section shall not be liable for the violation of subdivision (d) of
33 section eleven hundred eleven of this article, provided that he or she
34 sends to the traffic violations bureau or court having jurisdiction a
35 copy of the rental, lease or other such contract document covering such
36 vehicle on the date of the violation, with the name and address of the
37 lessee clearly legible, within thirty-seven days after receiving notice
38 from the bureau or court of the date and time of such violation, togeth-
39 er with the other information contained in the original notice of
40 liability. Failure to send such information within such thirty-seven day
41 time period shall render the owner liable for the penalty prescribed by
42 this section. Where the lessor complies with the provisions of this
43 paragraph, the lessee of such vehicle on the date of such violation
44 shall be deemed to be the owner of such vehicle for purposes of this
45 section, shall be subject to liability for the violation of subdivision
46 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this
47 section and shall be sent a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision
48 (g) of this section.
49 2. (I) In such town which, by local law, has authorized the adjudi-
50 cation of liability imposed upon owners by this section by a parking
51 violations bureau, an owner who is a lessor of a vehicle to which a
52 notice of liability was issued pursuant to subdivision (g) of this
53 section shall not be liable for the violation of subdivision (d) of
54 section eleven hundred eleven of this article, provided that:
S. 1696 4
1 (A) prior to the violation, the lessor has filed with the bureau in
2 accordance with the provisions of section two hundred thirty-nine of
3 this chapter; and
4 (B) within thirty-seven days after receiving notice from the bureau of
5 the date and time of a liability, together with the other information
6 contained in the original notice of liability, the lessor submits to the
7 bureau the correct name and address of the lessee of the vehicle identi-
8 fied in the notice of liability at the time of such violation, together
9 with such other additional information contained in the rental, lease or
10 other contract document, as may be reasonably required by the bureau
11 pursuant to regulations that may be promulgated for such purpose.
12 (II) Failure to comply with clause (B) of subparagraph (I) of this
13 paragraph shall render the owner liable for the penalty described in
14 this section.
15 (III) Where the lessor complies with the provisions of this paragraph,
16 the lessee of such vehicle on the date of such violation shall be deemed
17 to be the owner of such vehicle for purposes of this section, shall be
18 subject to liability for such violation pursuant to this section and
19 shall be sent a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision (g) of this
20 section.
21 (k) 1. If the owner liable for a violation of subdivision (d) of
22 section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this section
23 was not the operator of the vehicle at the time of the violation, the
24 owner may maintain an action for indemnification against the operator.
25 2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, no owner of a
26 vehicle shall be subject to a monetary fine imposed pursuant to this
27 section if the operator of such vehicle was operating such vehicle with-
28 out the consent of the owner at the time such operator failed to obey a
29 traffic-control indication. For purposes of this subdivision there shall
30 be a presumption that the operator of such vehicle was operating such
31 vehicle with the consent of the owner at the time such operator failed
32 to obey a traffic-control indication.
33 (1) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the liability
34 of an operator of a vehicle for any violation of subdivision (d) of
35 section eleven hundred eleven of this article.
36 (m) In any such town which adopts a demonstration program pursuant to
37 subdivision (a) of this section, such town shall submit an annual report
38 on the results of the use of a traffic-control signal photo violation
39 monitoring system to the governor, the temporary president of the senate
40 and the speaker of the assembly on or before June first, two thousand
41 nineteen, and on the same date in each succeeding year in which the

17 a local law or ordinance adopted pursuant to this section that such
18 traffic-control indications were malfunctioning at the time of the
19 alleged violation.
