    42  agreement as provided hereunder with  a  county,  no  cities,  towns  or
    43  villages  within  the  same county may enter into, or be a party to, any
    44  agreement with such district pursuant to this section. Provided further,
    45  however, that no county shall enter an agreement with  any  city  school

     4  city, town or village, respectively, for the proper handling and custody
     5  of  photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded images and
     6  data produced by such systems, and for the  forwarding  of  such  photo-
     7  graphs,  microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded images and data to
     8  the applicable county, city, town or village. On or before the following
     9  December first of each year, each such county,  city,  town  or  village
    10  shall  pay to the district such cost so certified to it on or before the
    11  preceding September first. Not later than twenty days  after  each  such
    12  payment  is  submitted  or  is due, whichever occurs first, the district
    13  shall submit to the director of the budget and the chairpersons  of  the
    14  fiscal  committees  of  the  legislature  a report for each such county,

    22  committees  of  the  legislature  of  such occurrence within twenty-four
    23  hours of such day; and (ii) be  prohibited  from  operating  school  bus
    24  photo  violation  monitoring  systems  within such county, city, town or

    26  such date shall not be voided.
    27    2. Any image or images captured by school bus photo violation monitor-
    28  ing  systems  shall  be  inadmissible  in  any  disciplinary  proceeding
    29  convened  by  any  school district or any school bus contractor thereof,
    30  and any proceeding initiated by the department involving licensure priv-
    31  ileges of school bus operators. Any school bus photo violation  monitor-
    32  ing device mounted on a school bus shall be directed outwardly from such
    33  school  bus  to  capture  images  of  vehicles  operated in violation of
    34  section eleven hundred seventy-four of this chapter, and images produced
    35  by such device shall not be used for any other purpose.
    36    3. (i) Any participating school  district  shall  be  prohibited  from

    40  village as provided in this section, for the proper handling and custody
    41  of such photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded images
    42  and data produced by such systems, and for the forwarding of such photo-
    43  graphs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded images and data  to
    44  the  applicable  county, city, town or village for the purpose of deter-
    45  mining whether a motor vehicle was operated in violation of  subdivision
    46  (a)  of  section  eleven hundred seventy-four of this title and imposing
    47  monetary liability on the owner of such motor vehicle therefor.
    48    (ii) Photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded  images
    49  and data produced by school bus photo violation monitoring systems shall
    50  be destroyed (A) ninety days after the date of the alleged imposition of
    51  liability  if a notice of liability is not issued for such alleged impo-
    52  sition of liability pursuant to this section or (B) upon final  disposi-
    53  tion of a notice of liability issued pursuant to this section.
    54    4.  A  county,  city,  town  or  village  establishing a demonstration
    55  program pursuant to this section shall adopt  and  enforce  measures  to
    56  protect  the  privacy  of  drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists

     5  violation  monitoring systems shall not include images that identify the
     6  driver, the passengers, the contents of  the  vehicle,  pedestrians  and
     7  cyclists. Provided, however, that no notice of liability issued pursuant
     8  to this section shall be dismissed solely because a photograph or photo-
     9  graphs  allow  for  the  identification  of  the  contents of a vehicle,
    10  provided that such county, city, town or village has made  a  reasonable
    11  effort to comply with the provisions of this paragraph;
    12    (ii)  a  prohibition  on the use or dissemination of vehicles' license
    13  plate information and other information and images  captured  by  school

    20  bus  photo violation monitoring systems are used to enforce restrictions
    21  on vehicles violating section eleven hundred seventy-four of this  chap-
    22  ter.  For  the  purposes of this paragraph, the term "roadway" shall not
    23  include state expressway routes or state interstate routes; and
    24    (iv) oversight procedures to ensure compliance with the aforementioned
    25  privacy protection measures.
    26    (b) In any such county, city, town or  village  which  has  adopted  a
    27  local  law or ordinance pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section, the
    28  owner of a vehicle shall be liable for a  penalty  imposed  pursuant  to
    29  this section if such vehicle was used or operated with the permission of
    30  the  owner,  express  or  implied,  in  violation  of subdivision (a) of
    31  section eleven hundred seventy-four of this article, and such  violation
    32  is  evidenced  by information obtained from a school bus photo violation
    33  monitoring system; provided however that no owner of a vehicle shall  be
    34  liable for a penalty imposed pursuant to this section where the operator
    35  of such vehicle has been convicted of the underlying violation of subdi-
    36  vision (a) of section eleven hundred seventy-four of this article.
    37    (c)  For  purposes of this section, the following terms shall have the
    38  following meanings: "county" shall have the meaning provided in  section

    17  notice of liability within the prescribed time period.
    18    (f)  An imposition of liability under a local law or ordinance adopted
    19  pursuant to this section shall not be deemed a conviction as an operator

    22  purposes in the provision of motor vehicle insurance coverage.
    23    (g) 1. A notice of liability shall be sent by first class mail to each
    24  person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation  of  subdivision
    25  (a)  of  section eleven hundred seventy-four of this article pursuant to
    26  this section. Personal delivery on the owner shall not  be  required.  A

    29    2.  A  notice  of  liability shall contain the name and address of the
    30  person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation  of  subdivision

    33  violation,  the  location  where such violation took place, the date and
    34  time of such violation and the identification number of the camera which
    35  recorded the violation or other document locator number.
    36    3. The notice of liability  shall  contain  information  advising  the
    37  person charged of the manner and the time in which he or she may contest
    38  the liability alleged in the notice. Such notice of liability shall also
    39  contain  a warning to advise the persons charged that failure to contest
    40  in the manner and time provided shall be deemed an admission of  liabil-
    41  ity and that a default judgment may be entered thereon.
    42    4. The notice of liability shall be prepared and mailed by the county,
    43  city,  town  or village in which the violation occurred, or by any other
    44  entity authorized by such county, city, town or village to  prepare  and
    45  mail such notification of violation.
    46    (h)  Adjudication of the liability imposed upon owners by this section
    47  shall be by a traffic violations bureau established pursuant to  section
    48  three  hundred  seventy of the general municipal law where the violation
    49  occurred or, if there be none, by the  court  having  jurisdiction  over
    50  traffic  infractions where the violation occurred, except that if a city
    51  has  established  an  administrative  tribunal  to  hear  and  determine
    52  complaints  of  traffic  infractions  constituting  parking, standing or
    53  stopping violations such city may, by local law, authorize such  adjudi-
    54  cation by such tribunal.
    55    (i)  If  an  owner  receives  a  notice  of liability pursuant to this
    56  section for any time period during which the vehicle was reported to the

        A. 4950--A                         36
     1  police as having been stolen, it shall be a valid defense to an  allega-
     2  tion  of  liability for a violation of subdivision (a) of section eleven
     3  hundred seventy-four of this article pursuant to this section  that  the
     4  vehicle  had been reported to the police as stolen prior to the time the
     5  violation occurred and had  not  been  recovered  by  such  time.    For
     6  purposes  of asserting the defense provided by this subdivision it shall
     7  be sufficient that a certified copy of the police report on  the  stolen
     8  vehicle  be  sent  by first class mail to the traffic violations bureau,
     9  court having jurisdiction or parking violations bureau.
    10    (j) 1. In such county, city, town or village where the adjudication of
    11  liability imposed upon owners pursuant to this section is by  a  traffic
    12  violations  bureau  or  a  court  having jurisdiction, an owner who is a
    13  lessor of a vehicle to which a notice of liability was  issued  pursuant
    14  to subdivision (g) of this section shall not be liable for the violation
    15  of  subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred seventy-four of this arti-
    16  cle, provided that he or she sends to the traffic violations  bureau  or
    17  court  having  jurisdiction  a  copy  of the rental, lease or other such
    18  contract document covering such vehicle on the date  of  the  violation,
    19  with  the name and address of the lessee clearly legible, within thirty-
    20  seven days after receiving notice from the bureau or court of  the  date
    21  and  time  of  such  violation,  together  with  the  other  information
    22  contained in the original notice of liability.   Failure  to  send  such
    23  information  within  such  thirty-seven day time period shall render the
    24  owner liable for the penalty  prescribed  by  this  section.  Where  the
    25  lessor  complies  with  the  provisions of this paragraph, the lessee of
    26  such vehicle on the date of such violation shall be  deemed  to  be  the
    27  owner  of such vehicle for purposes of this section, shall be subject to
    28  liability for the violation of subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred
    29  seventy-four of this article pursuant to this section and shall be  sent
    30  a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section.
    31    2.  (i) In a city which, by local law, has authorized the adjudication
    32  of liability imposed upon owners by this section by a parking violations
    33  bureau, an owner who is a lessor of a  vehicle  to  which  a  notice  of
    34  liability  was  issued pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section shall
    35  not be liable for the violation of subdivision  (a)  of  section  eleven
    36  hundred seventy-four of this article, provided that:
    37    (A)  prior  to  the violation, the lessor has filed with the bureau in
    38  accordance with the provisions of section  two  hundred  thirty-nine  of
    39  this chapter; and
    40    (B) within thirty-seven days after receiving notice from the bureau of
    41  the  date  and  time of a liability, together with the other information
    42  contained in the original notice of liability, the lessor submits to the
    43  bureau the correct name and address of the lessee of the vehicle identi-
    44  fied in the notice of liability at the time of such violation,  together
    45  with such other additional information contained in the rental, lease or
    46  other  contract  document,  as  may be reasonably required by the bureau
    47  pursuant to regulations that may be promulgated for such purpose.
    48    (ii) Failure to comply with clause (B) of  subparagraph  (i)  of  this
    49  paragraph  shall  render  the owner liable for the penalty prescribed in
    50  this section.
    51    (iii) Where the lessor complies with the provisions of this paragraph,
    52  the lessee of such vehicle on the date of such violation shall be deemed
    53  to be the owner of such vehicle for purposes of this section,  shall  be
    54  subject  to  liability  for  such violation pursuant to this section and
    55  shall be sent a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision (g) of  this
    56  section.

     1    (k)  1.  If  the  owner  liable  for a violation of subdivision (a) of
     2  section eleven hundred seventy-four of this  article  pursuant  to  this
     3  section  was  not  the  operator  of  the  vehicle  at  the  time of the
     4  violation, the owner may maintain an action for indemnification  against
     5  the operator.
     6    2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no owner of a
     7  vehicle shall be subject to a monetary fine  imposed  pursuant  to  this
     8  section if the operator of such vehicle was operating such vehicle with-
     9  out  the consent of the owner at the time such operator failed to comply
    10  with section eleven hundred seventy-four of this chapter.  For  purposes
    11  of  this  subdivision  there shall be a presumption that the operator of
    12  such vehicle was operating such vehicle with the consent of the owner at
    13  the time such operator failed to  comply  with  section  eleven  hundred
    14  seventy-four of this chapter.
    15    (l)  Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the liability
    16  of an operator of a vehicle for any  violation  of  subdivision  (a)  of
    17  section eleven hundred seventy-four of this article.
