     1  commissioner has reasonable grounds to believe that such registration or

     4  remain  unanswered,  or  in  the case of an administrative tribunal, the

    40  renewal application to any other person for the  same  vehicle  and  may
    41  deny  a  registration or renewal application for any other motor vehicle

     4  Where an application is denied pursuant to this section, the commission-

    56  within a school district ("district") is hereby authorized and empowered

        A. 4950--B                         32

     6  hundred seventy-five of this chapter and operated in such county,  city,
     7  town or village, in accordance with the provisions of this section. Such
     8  demonstration  program  shall empower such county, city, town or village

    12  village, on school buses owned and operated by such school  district  or
    13  privately  owned  and operated for compensation under contract with such
    14  district.  Provided, however, that (a) no stationary  school  bus  photo
    15  violation  monitoring system shall be installed or operated by a county,
    16  city, town or village except on roadways under the jurisdiction of  such
    17  county,  city,  town  or  village,  and  (b)  no mobile school bus photo
    18  violation monitoring system shall be installed or operated on  any  such

    22  district, that has adopted a local law or  ordinance  pursuant  to  this
    23  section  establishing  a demonstration program imposing liability on the

    35  the  forwarding of such photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, other
    36  recorded images and  data  to  the  applicable  county,  city,  town  or
    37  village.  Any agreement entered into hereunder shall be approved by each
    38  participating county, city, town or village by a majority  vote  of  the

    44  agreement  as  provided  hereunder  with  a  county, no cities, towns or
    45  villages within the same county may enter into, or be a  party  to,  any
    46  agreement with such district pursuant to this section. Provided further,
    47  however,  that  no  county shall enter an agreement with any city school
    48  district wholly contained within a city.  Nothing in this section  shall
    49  be construed to prevent a county, city, town, village or district at any
    50  time to withdraw from or terminate an agreement entered pursuant to this
    51  section  and section twenty-two of the chapter of the laws of 2019 which
    52  added this section.

     1  before September first of each year, the district  shall  determine  and
     2  certify  to each county, city, town or village with which it has entered
     3  into an agreement pursuant  to  this  section  the  total  cost  to  the

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

    19  village fails to make the payment required to the district by the  twen-
    20  tieth  day  after  the date such payment was due, (i) the district shall
    21  notify the director of the budget and the  chairpersons  of  the  fiscal
    22  committees  of  the  legislature  of  such occurrence within twenty-four
    23  hours of such day; and (ii) the demonstration program shall be suspended
    24  within such county, city, town, or village until such time as such coun-
    25  ty, city, town, or village makes the payment required to  the  district.
    26  The  district  shall  notify  the  director of the budget and the chair-
    27  persons of the fiscal committees of  the  legislature  of  such  payment
    28  within  seven  business days of its receipt. Provided, however, that any
    29  notice of liability issued prior to such date shall not be voided.
    30    2. Any image or images captured by school bus photo violation monitor-
    31  ing  systems  shall  be  inadmissible  in  any  disciplinary  proceeding
    32  convened  by  any  school district or any school bus contractor thereof,
    33  and any proceeding initiated by the department involving licensure priv-
    34  ileges of school bus operators. Any school bus photo violation  monitor-
    35  ing device mounted on a school bus shall be directed outwardly from such
    36  school  bus  to  capture  images  of  vehicles  operated in violation of
    37  section eleven hundred seventy-four of this chapter, and images produced
    38  by such device shall not be used for any other purpose.
    39    3. (i) Any participating school  district  shall  be  prohibited  from
    40  accessing  any photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded
    41  images or data from school bus photo violation  monitoring  systems  but
    42  shall  provide,  pursuant  to  an agreement with a county, city, town or
    43  village as provided in this section, for the proper handling and custody
    44  of such photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded images
    45  and data produced by such systems, and for the forwarding of such photo-
    46  graphs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded images and data  to
    47  the  applicable  county, city, town or village for the purpose of deter-
    48  mining whether a motor vehicle was operated in violation of  subdivision
    49  (a)  of  section  eleven hundred seventy-four of this title and imposing
    50  monetary liability on the owner of such motor vehicle therefor.
    51    (ii) Photographs, microphotographs, videotapes, other recorded  images
    52  and data produced by school bus photo violation monitoring systems shall
    53  be destroyed (A) ninety days after the date of the alleged imposition of
    54  liability  if a notice of liability is not issued for such alleged impo-
    55  sition of liability pursuant to this section or (B) upon final  disposi-
    56  tion of a notice of liability issued pursuant to this section.

        A. 4950--B                         34
     1    4.  A  county,  city,  town  or  village  establishing a demonstration
     2  program pursuant to this section shall adopt  and  enforce  measures  to
     3  protect  the  privacy  of  drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists
     4  whose identity and identifying information may be captured by  a  school
     5  bus photo violation monitoring device. Such measures shall include:
     6    (i)  utilization  of  necessary  technologies to ensure, to the extent
     7  practicable,  that  photographs  produced  by  such  school  bus   photo
     8  violation  monitoring systems shall not include images that identify the
     9  driver, the passengers, the contents of  the  vehicle,  pedestrians  and
    10  cyclists. Provided, however, that no notice of liability issued pursuant
    11  to this section shall be dismissed solely because a photograph or photo-
    12  graphs  allow  for  the  identification  of  the  contents of a vehicle,
    13  provided that such county, city, town or village has made  a  reasonable
    14  effort to comply with the provisions of this paragraph;
    15    (ii)  a  prohibition  on the use or dissemination of vehicles' license
    16  plate information and other information and images  captured  by  school
    17  bus photo violation monitoring systems except: (A) as required to estab-
    18  lish  liability  under this section or collect payment of penalties; (B)
    19  as required by court order; or (C) as otherwise required by law;
    20    (iii) the installation of signage in conformance with standards estab-
    21  lished in the MUTCD at each roadway entrance of the jurisdictional boun-
    22  daries of such county, city, town or village giving notice  that  school
    23  bus  photo violation monitoring systems are used to enforce restrictions
    24  on vehicles violating section eleven hundred seventy-four of this  chap-
    25  ter.  For  the  purposes of this paragraph, the term "roadway" shall not
    26  include state expressway routes or state  interstate  routes  but  shall
    27  include  controlled-access  highway  exit ramps that enter the jurisdic-
    28  tional boundaries of a county, city, town or village; and
    29    (iv) oversight procedures to ensure compliance with the aforementioned
    30  privacy protection measures.
    31    (b) In any such county, city, town or  village  which  has  adopted  a
    32  local  law or ordinance pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section, the
    33  owner of a vehicle shall be liable for a  penalty  imposed  pursuant  to
    34  this section if such vehicle was used or operated with the permission of
    35  the  owner,  express  or  implied,  in  violation  of subdivision (a) of

    51    4. The notice of liability shall be prepared and mailed by the county,
    52  city,  town  or village in which the violation occurred, or by any other
    53  entity authorized by such county, city, town or village to  prepare  and

        A. 4950--B                         36
     1  three  hundred  seventy of the general municipal law where the violation
     2  occurred or, if there be none, by the  court  having  jurisdiction  over
     3  traffic  infractions where the violation occurred, except that if a city
     4  has  established  an  administrative  tribunal  to  hear  and  determine
     5  complaints of traffic  infractions  constituting  parking,  standing  or
     6  stopping  violations such city may, by local law, authorize such adjudi-
     7  cation by such tribunal.
     8    (i) If an owner receives  a  notice  of  liability  pursuant  to  this
     9  section for any time period during which the vehicle was reported to the
    10  police  as having been stolen, it shall be a valid defense to an allega-
    11  tion of liability for a violation of subdivision (a) of  section  eleven
    12  hundred  seventy-four  of this article pursuant to this section that the
    13  vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen prior to the time  the
    14  violation  occurred  and  had  not  been  recovered  by such time.   For
    15  purposes of asserting the defense provided by this subdivision it  shall
    16  be  sufficient  that a certified copy of the police report on the stolen
    17  vehicle be sent by first class mail to the  traffic  violations  bureau,
    18  court having jurisdiction or parking violations bureau.
    19    (j) 1. In such county, city, town or village where the adjudication of
    20  liability  imposed  upon owners pursuant to this section is by a traffic

    22  lessor  of  a vehicle to which a notice of liability was issued pursuant
    23  to subdivision (g) of this section shall not be liable for the violation
    24  of subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred seventy-four of this  arti-
    25  cle,  provided  that he or she sends to the traffic violations bureau or
    26  court having jurisdiction a copy of the  rental,  lease  or  other  such
    27  contract  document  covering  such vehicle on the date of the violation,

    29  seven  days  after receiving notice from the bureau or court of the date
    30  and  time  of  such  violation,  together  with  the  other  information
    31  contained  in  the  original notice of liability.   Failure to send such
    32  information within such thirty-seven day time period  shall  render  the
    33  owner  liable  for  the  penalty  prescribed  by this section. Where the
    34  lessor complies with the provisions of this  paragraph,  the  lessee  of
    35  such  vehicle  on  the  date of such violation shall be deemed to be the
    36  owner of such vehicle for purposes of this section, shall be subject  to
    37  liability for the violation of subdivision (a) of section eleven hundred
    38  seventy-four  of this article pursuant to this section and shall be sent
    39  a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section.
    40    2. (i) In a city which, by local law, has authorized the  adjudication
    41  of liability imposed upon owners by this section by a parking violations
    42  bureau,  an  owner  who  is  a  lessor of a vehicle to which a notice of
    43  liability was issued pursuant to subdivision (g) of this  section  shall
    44  not  be  liable  for  the violation of subdivision (a) of section eleven
    45  hundred seventy-four of this article, provided that:
    46    (A) prior to the violation, the lessor has filed with  the  bureau  in
    47  accordance  with  the  provisions  of section two hundred thirty-nine of
    48  this chapter; and
    49    (B) within thirty-seven days after receiving notice from the bureau of
    50  the date and time of a liability, together with  the  other  information
    51  contained in the original notice of liability, the lessor submits to the
    52  bureau the correct name and address of the lessee of the vehicle identi-
    53  fied  in the notice of liability at the time of such violation, together
    54  with such other additional information contained in the rental, lease or
    55  other contract document, as may be reasonably  required  by  the  bureau
    56  pursuant to regulations that may be promulgated for such purpose.

        A. 4950--B                         37
     1    (ii)  Failure  to  comply  with clause (B) of subparagraph (i) of this
     2  paragraph shall render the owner liable for the  penalty  prescribed  in
     3  this section.
     4    (iii) Where the lessor complies with the provisions of this paragraph,
     5  the lessee of such vehicle on the date of such violation shall be deemed
     6  to  be  the owner of such vehicle for purposes of this section, shall be
     7  subject to liability for such violation pursuant  to  this  section  and
     8  shall  be sent a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision (g) of this
     9  section.
    10    (k) 1. If the owner liable for  a  violation  of  subdivision  (a)  of
    11  section  eleven  hundred  seventy-four  of this article pursuant to this
    12  section was not  the  operator  of  the  vehicle  at  the  time  of  the
    13  violation,  the owner may maintain an action for indemnification against
    14  the operator.
    15    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no owner of  a
    16  vehicle  shall  be  subject  to a monetary fine imposed pursuant to this
    17  section if the operator of such vehicle was operating such vehicle with-
    18  out the consent of the owner at the time such operator failed to  comply
    19  with  section  eleven hundred seventy-four of this chapter. For purposes
    20  of this subdivision there shall be a presumption that  the  operator  of
    21  such vehicle was operating such vehicle with the consent of the owner at
    22  the  time  such  operator  failed  to comply with section eleven hundred
    23  seventy-four of this chapter.
    24    (l) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the  liability
    25  of  an  operator  of  a  vehicle for any violation of subdivision (a) of
    26  section eleven hundred seventy-four of this article.
