46 prescribed in the notice and not subject to additional penalty or fee.
47 Such notice of impending default judgment shall not be required prior to
48 the rendering and entry thereof in the case of operators or owners who
49 are non-residents of the state of New York. In no case shall a default
50 judgment be rendered or, where required, a notice of impending default
51 judgment be sent, more than two years after the expiration of the time
52 prescribed for entering a plea. When a person has demanded a hearing, no
53 fine or penalty shall be imposed for any reason, prior to the holding of

55 charges, sustaining them, he shall impose no greater penalty or fine
56 than those upon which the person was originally charged.

1 § 7-d. Subdivisions 1 and 2 of section 241 of the vehicle and traffic
2 law, subdivision 1 as added by chapter 715 of the laws of 1972 and
3 subdivision 2 as amended by chapter 365 of the laws of 1978, are amended
4 to read as follows:
5 1. The hearing examiner shall make a determination on the charges,
6 either sustaining or dismissing them. Where the hearing examiner deter-
7 mines that the charges have been sustained he or she may examine either
8 the prior parking violations record or the record of liabilities
9 incurred in accordance with section eleven hundred eleven-d of this
10 chapter of the person charged, as applicable, prior to rendering a final
11 determination. Final determinations sustaining or dismissing charges
12 shall be entered on a final determination roll maintained by the bureau
13 together with records showing payment and nonpayment of penalties.
14 2. Where an operator or owner fails to enter a plea to a charge of a
15 parking violation or contest an allegation of liability in accordance
16 with section eleven hundred eleven-d of this chapter or fails to appear
17 on a designated hearing date or subsequent adjourned date or fails after
18 a hearing to comply with the determination of a hearing examiner, as
19 prescribed by this article or by rule or regulation of the bureau, such
20 failure to plead, appear or comply shall be deemed, for all purposes, an
21 admission of liability and shall be grounds for rendering and entering a
22 default judgment in an amount provided by the rules and regulations of
23 the bureau. However, after the expiration of the original date
24 prescribed for entering a plea and before a default judgment may be
25 rendered, in such case the bureau shall pursuant to the applicable
26 provisions of law notify such operator or owner, by such form of first
27 class mail as the commission may direct; (1) of the violation charged or
28 liability in accordance with section eleven hundred eleven-d of this
29 chapter alleged, (2) of the impending default judgment, (3) that such
30 judgment will be entered in the Civil Court of the city in which the
31 bureau has been established, or other court of civil jurisdiction or any
32 other place provided for the entry of civil judgments within the state
33 of New York, and (4) that a default may be avoided by entering a plea or
34 contesting an allegation of liability in accordance with section eleven
35 hundred eleven-d of this chapter or making an appearance within thirty
36 days of the sending of such notice. Pleas entered within that period
37 shall be in the manner prescribed in the notice and not subject to addi-
38 tional penalty or fee. Such notice of impending default judgment shall
39 not be required prior to the rendering and entry thereof in the case of
40 operators or owners who are non-residents of the state of New York. In
41 no case shall a default judgment be rendered or, where required, a
42 notice of impending default judgment be sent, more than two years after
43 the expiration of the time prescribed for entering a plea. When a person
44 has demanded a hearing, no fine or penalty shall be imposed for any
45 reason, prior to the holding of the hearing. If the hearing examiner
46 shall make a determination on the charges, sustaining them, he shall
47 impose no greater penalty or fine than those upon which the person was
48 originally charged.

30 § 1111-d. Owner liability for failure of operator to comply with
31 traffic-control indications. (a) 1. Notwithstanding any other provision
32 of law, the city of Albany is hereby authorized and empowered to adopt
33 and amend a local law or ordinance establishing a demonstration program
34 imposing monetary liability on the owner of a vehicle for failure of an
35 operator thereof to comply with traffic-control indications in such city
36 in accordance with the provisions of this section. Such demonstration
37 program shall empower such city to install and operate traffic-control
38 signal photo violation-monitoring devices at no more than twenty inter-
39 sections within such city at any one time.
40 2. Such demonstration program shall utilize necessary technologies to
41 ensure, to the extent practicable, that photographs produced by such
42 traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring systems shall not
43 include images that identify the driver, the passengers, or the contents
44 of the vehicle. Provided, however, that no notice of liability issued
45 pursuant to this section shall be dismissed solely because a photograph
46 or photographs allow for the identification of the contents of a vehi-
47 cle, provided that such city has made a reasonable effort to comply with
48 the provisions of this paragraph.
49 (b) In any such city which has adopted a local law or ordinance pursu-
50 ant to subdivision (a) of this section, the owner of a vehicle shall be
51 liable for a penalty imposed pursuant to this section if such vehicle
52 was used or operated with the permission of the owner, express or
53 implied, in violation of subdivision (d) of section eleven hundred elev-
54 en of this article, and such violation is evidenced by information
55 obtained from a traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring
56 system; provided however that no owner of a vehicle shall be liable for
S. 7295--A 22 A. 9583--A
1 a penalty imposed pursuant to this section where the operator of such
2 vehicle has been convicted of the underlying violation of subdivision
3 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article.
4 (c) For purposes of this section, "owner" shall have the meaning
5 provided in article two-B of this chapter. For purposes of this section,
6 "traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring system" shall mean a
7 vehicle sensor installed to work in conjunction with a traffic-control
8 signal which automatically produces two or more photographs, two or more
9 microphotographs, a videotape or other recorded images of each vehicle
10 at the time it is used or operated in violation of subdivision (d) of
11 section eleven hundred eleven of this article.
12 (d) A certificate, sworn to or affirmed by a technician employed by
13 the city of Albany in which the charged violation occurred, or a facsim-
14 ile thereof, based upon inspection of photographs, microphotographs,
15 videotape or other recorded images produced by a traffic-control signal
16 photo violation-monitoring system, shall be prima facie evidence of the
17 facts contained therein. Any photographs, microphotographs, videotape or
18 other recorded images evidencing such a violation shall be available for
19 inspection in any proceeding to adjudicate the liability for such
20 violation pursuant to a local law or ordinance adopted pursuant to this
21 section.
22 (e) An owner liable for a violation of subdivision (d) of section
23 eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to a local law or ordi-
24 nance adopted pursuant to this section shall be liable for monetary
25 penalties in accordance with a schedule of fines and penalties to be set
26 forth in such local law or ordinance, except that if such city by local
27 law has authorized the adjudication of such owner liability by a parking
28 violations bureau, such schedule shall be promulgated by such bureau.
29 The liability of the owner pursuant to this section shall not exceed
30 fifty dollars for each violation; provided, however, that such local law
31 or ordinance may provide for an additional penalty not in excess of
32 twenty-five dollars for each violation for the failure to respond to a
33 notice of liability within the prescribed time period.
34 (f) An imposition of liability under a local law or ordinance adopted
35 pursuant to this section shall not be deemed a conviction as an operator
36 and shall not be made part of the operating record of the person upon
37 whom such liability is imposed nor shall it be used for insurance
38 purposes in the provision of motor vehicle insurance coverage.
39 (g) 1. A notice of liability shall be sent by first class mail to each
40 person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of subdivision
41 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this
42 section. Personal delivery on the owner shall not be required. A manual
43 or automatic record of mailing prepared in the ordinary course of busi-
44 ness shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein.
45 2. A notice of liability shall contain the name and address of the
46 person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of subdivision
47 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this
48 section, the registration number of the vehicle involved in such
49 violation, the location where such violation took place, the date and
50 time of such violation and the identification number of the camera which
51 recorded the violation or other document locator number.
52 3. The notice of liability shall contain information advising the
53 person charged of the manner and the time in which he or she may contest
54 the liability alleged in the notice. Such notice of liability shall also
55 contain a warning to advise the persons charged that failure to contest
S. 7295--A 23 A. 9583--A
1 in the manner and time provided shall be deemed an admission of liabil-
2 ity and that a default judgment may be entered thereon.
3 4. The notice of liability shall be prepared and mailed by the city of
4 Albany, or by any other entity authorized by such city to prepare and
5 mail such notification of violation.
6 (h) Adjudication of the liability imposed upon owners by this section
7 shall be by a traffic violations bureau established pursuant to section
8 three hundred seventy of the general municipal law or, if there be none,
9 by the court having jurisdiction over traffic infractions, except that
10 if such city has established an administrative tribunal to hear and
11 determine complaints of traffic infractions constituting parking, stand-
12 ing or stopping violations such city may, by local law, authorize such
13 adjudication by such tribunal.
14 (i) If an owner receives a notice of liability pursuant to this
15 section for any time period during which the vehicle was reported to the
16 police department as having been stolen, it shall be a valid defense to
17 an allegation of liability for a violation of subdivision (d) of section
18 eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this section that the
19 vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen prior to the time the
20 violation occurred and had not been recovered by such time. For purposes
21 of asserting the defense provided by this subdivision it shall be suffi-
22 cient that a certified copy of the police report on the stolen vehicle
23 be sent by first class mail to the traffic violations bureau, court
24 having jurisdiction or parking violations bureau.
25 (j) 1. In such city where the adjudication of liability imposed upon
26 owners pursuant to this section is by a traffic violations bureau or a
27 court having jurisdiction, an owner who is a lessor of a vehicle to
28 which a notice of liability was issued pursuant to subdivision (g) of
29 this section shall not be liable for the violation of subdivision (d) of
30 section eleven hundred eleven of this article, provided that he or she
31 sends to the traffic violations bureau or court having jurisdiction a
32 copy of the rental, lease or other such contract document covering such
33 vehicle on the date of the violation, with the name and address of the
34 lessee clearly legible, within thirty-seven days after receiving notice
35 from the bureau or court of the date and time of such violation, togeth-
36 er with the other information contained in the original notice of
37 liability. Failure to send such information within such thirty-seven day
38 time period shall render the owner liable for the penalty prescribed by
39 this section. Where the lessor complies with the provisions of this
40 paragraph, the lessee of such vehicle on the date of such violation
41 shall be deemed to be the owner of such vehicle for purposes of this
42 section, shall be subject to liability for the violation of subdivision
43 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this
44 section and shall be sent a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision
45 (g) of this section.
46 2. (I) In such city which, by local law, has authorized the adjudi-
47 cation of liability imposed upon owners by this section by a parking
48 violations bureau, an owner who is a lessor of a vehicle to which a
49 notice of liability was issued pursuant to subdivision (g) of this
50 section shall not be liable for the violation of subdivision (d) of
51 section eleven hundred eleven of this article, provided that:
52 (A) prior to the violation, the lessor has filed with the bureau in
53 accordance with the provisions of section two hundred thirty-nine of
54 this chapter; and
55 (B) within thirty-seven days after receiving notice from the bureau of
56 the date and time of a liability, together with the other information
S. 7295--A 24 A. 9583--A
1 contained in the original notice of liability, the lessor submits to the
2 bureau the correct name and address of the lessee of the vehicle identi-
3 fied in the notice of liability at the time of such violation, together
4 with such other additional information contained in the rental, lease or
5 other contract document, as may be reasonably required by the bureau
6 pursuant to regulations that may be promulgated for such purpose.
7 (II) Failure to comply with clause (B) of subparagraph (I) of this
8 paragraph shall render the owner liable for the penalty prescribed in
9 this section.
10 (III) Where the lessor complies with the provisions of this paragraph,
11 the lessee of such vehicle on the date of such violation shall be deemed
12 to be the owner of such vehicle for purposes of this section, shall be
13 subject to liability for such violation pursuant to this section and
14 shall be sent a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision (g) of this
15 section.
16 (k) 1. If the owner liable for a violation of subdivision (d) of
17 section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this section
18 was not the operator of the vehicle at the time of the violation, the
19 owner may maintain an action for indemnification against the operator.
20 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no owner of a
21 vehicle shall be subject to a monetary fine imposed pursuant to this
22 section if the operator of such vehicle was operating such vehicle with-
23 out the consent of the owner at the time such operator failed to obey a
24 traffic-control indication. For purposes of this subdivision there shall
25 be a presumption that the operator of such vehicle was operating such
26 vehicle with the consent of the owner at the time such operator failed
27 to obey a traffic-control indication.
28 (l) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the liability
29 of an operator of a vehicle for any violation of subdivision (d) of
30 section eleven hundred eleven of this article.
31 (m) In any such city which adopts a demonstration program pursuant to
32 subdivision (a) of this section, such city shall submit an annual report
33 on the results of the use of a traffic-control signal photo violation-
34 monitoring system to the governor, the temporary president of the senate
