A06687 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A6687A
 
SPONSOR: Magnarelli
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the public officers law, in relation to authorizing the city of Syracuse to establish a demon- stration program imposing monetary liability on the owner of a vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to comply with posted maximum speed limits in a school speed zone; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof   PURPOSE: Authorizes the City of Syracuse to install and use school zone speed cameras.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Adds new section 1180-f to the Vehicle and Traffic Law to authorize the City of Syracuse to install and operate school zone speed cameras in the City. It provides the regulatory and due process struc- tures for the installation of the cameras, the registration of violations, issuance of tickets/fines and the process for appealing violations. The maximum fine allowed per violation is $50 and the City is authorized to add a $25 surcharge for failure to respond to a notice. The City is authorized to install 34 cameras for this program. Section 2: Amends section 87(2) of the Public Officers Law regarding the use of captured images. Section 3: Establishes that the purchase or lease of equipment for the program will be procured per section 103 of the General Municipal Law. Section 4: Establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: In recent years, there has been a troubling trend showing an increase in traffic crashes with injuries and deaths to pedestrians/cyclists. Law enforcement is also seeing a rising trend of traffic violations and dangerous behavior among motorists. To combat this trend, authorization to deploy speed cameras in school zones. Similar camera programs in other cities have helped to slow down speeds around schools and reduce crashes involving children. This program will allow the City to use camera technology to fine driv- ers that go above 10 mph in a posted school zone with a $50 fine. The City will have discretion on which zones to install cameras in.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.   FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall have become a law and shall expire December 31, 2028, when upon such date the provisions of this act shall be deemed repealed. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation neces- sary for the implementation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and completed on or before such effective date.

        AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the public officers law,
          in  relation to authorizing the city of Syracuse to establish a demon-

     6  a  demonstration  program  imposing monetary liability on the owner of a
     7  vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to comply with posted maximum

        A. 6687--A                          2
 
     1  is in effect as provided in paragraphs one and two of subdivision (c) of
     2  section  eleven  hundred eighty of this article or (iv) when other speed
     3  limits are in effect as provided in subdivision (b), (d), (f) or (g)  of
     4  section  eleven  hundred  eighty  of  this  article during the following
     5  times: (A) on school days during school hours and one  hour  before  and
     6  one  hour  after  the school day, and (B) a period during student activ-
     7  ities at the school and up to thirty minutes immediately before  and  up
     8  to  thirty minutes immediately after such student activities. In select-
     9  ing a school speed zone in which to install and operate  a  photo  speed
    10  violation monitoring system, the city shall consider criteria including,
    11  but not limited to, the speed data, crash history, and the roadway geom-
    12  etry applicable to such school speed zone.
    13    2.  No  photo  speed  violation  monitoring  system shall be used in a
    14  school speed zone unless (i) on the day it is to be used it has success-
    15  fully passed a self-test of its functions; and (ii) it has undergone  an
    16  annual  calibration  check  performed pursuant to paragraph four of this
    17  subdivision. The city shall install signs giving  notice  that  a  photo
    18  speed  violation  monitoring  system  is in use to be mounted on advance
    19  warning signs notifying motor vehicle operators of such upcoming  school
    20  speed  zone  and/or  on  speed limit signs applicable within such school
    21  speed zone, in conformance with standards established in the MUTCD.
    22    3. Operators of photo speed violation monitoring  systems  shall  have
    23  completed  training in the procedures for setting up, testing, and oper-
    24  ating such systems. Each such operator shall complete and sign  a  daily
    25  set-up  log for each such system that he or she operates that (i) states
    26  the date and time when, and the location where, the system  was  set  up
    27  that day, and (ii) states that such operator successfully performed, and
    28  the  system  passed,  the  self-tests  of such system before producing a
    29  recorded image that day. The city shall retain each such daily log until
    30  the later of the date on which  the  photo  speed  violation  monitoring
    31  system  to which it applies has been permanently removed from use or the
    32  final resolution of all cases  involving  notices  of  liability  issued
    33  based  on  photographs,  microphotographs,  videotape  or other recorded
    34  images produced by such system.
    35    4. Each photo speed violation monitoring system shall undergo an annu-
    36  al calibration check performed by an independent calibration  laboratory
    37  which  shall  issue  a signed certificate of calibration. The city shall
    38  keep each such annual certificate of calibration on file until the final
    39  resolution of all cases involving a notice of  liability  issued  during
    40  such  year  which were based on photographs, microphotographs, videotape
    41  or other recorded images produced by such photo speed violation monitor-
    42  ing system.
    43    5. (i) Such demonstration program shall utilize necessary technologies
    44  to ensure, to the  extent  practicable,  that  photographs,  microphoto-
    45  graphs,  videotape or other recorded images produced by such photo speed
    46  violation monitoring systems shall not include images that identify  the
    47  driver,  the  passengers,  or  the  contents of the vehicle.   Provided,
    48  however, that no notice of liability issued  pursuant  to  this  section
    49  shall  be  dismissed  solely because such a photograph, microphotograph,
    50  videotape or other recorded image allows for the identification  of  the
    51  driver, the passengers, or the contents of vehicles where the city shows
    52  that  it  made  reasonable efforts to comply with the provisions of this
    53  paragraph in such case.
    54    (ii) Photographs, microphotographs, videotape or  any  other  recorded
    55  image  from  a  photo speed violation monitoring system shall be for the
    56  exclusive use of the city for the purpose of the adjudication of liabil-

        A. 6687--A                          3
 
     1  ity imposed pursuant to this section and of the owner receiving a notice
     2  of liability pursuant to this section, and shall  be  destroyed  by  the
     3  city  upon the final resolution of the notice of liability to which such
     4  photographs,   microphotographs,  videotape  or  other  recorded  images
     5  relate, or one year following the date of issuance  of  such  notice  of
     6  liability,  whichever  is  later.  Notwithstanding the provisions of any
     7  other law, rule or regulation to the contrary, photographs,  microphoto-
     8  graphs,  videotape  or  any  other  recorded  image  from  a photo speed
     9  violation monitoring system shall not be open to the public, nor subject
    10  to civil or criminal process or discovery, nor  used  by  any  court  or
    11  administrative  or adjudicatory body in any action or proceeding therein
    12  except that which is necessary for  the  adjudication  of  a  notice  of
    13  liability  issued  pursuant  to  this  section,  and no public entity or
    14  employee, officer or agent  thereof  shall  disclose  such  information,
    15  except  that  such photographs, microphotographs, videotape or any other
    16  recorded images from such systems:
    17    (A) shall be available for inspection and copying and use by the motor
    18  vehicle owner and operator for so long as such photographs,  microphoto-
    19  graphs, videotape or other recorded images are required to be maintained
    20  or are maintained by such public entity, employee, officer or agent; and
    21    (B)  (1)  shall be furnished when described in a search warrant issued
    22  by a court authorized to issue such a search warrant pursuant to article
    23  six hundred ninety of the criminal procedure  law  or  a  federal  court
    24  authorized  to issue such a search warrant under federal law, where such
    25  search warrant states that there is reasonable  cause  to  believe  such
    26  information  constitutes  evidence  of,  or tends to demonstrate that, a
    27  misdemeanor or felony offense was committed in  this  state  or  another
    28  state,  or  that a particular person participated in the commission of a
    29  misdemeanor or felony offense in this state or another state,  provided,
    30  however, that if such offense was against the laws of another state, the
    31  court  shall only issue a warrant if the conduct comprising such offense
    32  would, if occurring in this state, constitute a  misdemeanor  or  felony
    33  against the laws of this state; and
    34    (2) shall be furnished in response to a subpoena duces tecum signed by
    35  a  judge  of  competent  jurisdiction and issued pursuant to article six
    36  hundred ten of the criminal procedure law or a judge or magistrate of  a
    37  federal  court  authorized  to  issue  such a subpoena duces tecum under
    38  federal law, where the judge finds and the subpoena states that there is
    39  reasonable cause to believe such information is relevant and material to
    40  the prosecution, or the defense, or the investigation by  an  authorized
    41  law  enforcement official, of the alleged commission of a misdemeanor or
    42  felony in this state or another state, provided, however, that  if  such
    43  offense  was against the laws of another state, such judge or magistrate
    44  shall only issue such subpoena if the conduct  comprising  such  offense
    45  would, if occurring in this state, constitute a misdemeanor or felony in
    46  this state; and
    47    (3)  may,  if lawfully obtained pursuant to this clause and clause (A)
    48  of this subparagraph and otherwise admissible, be used in such  criminal
    49  action or proceeding.
