A 975: Suspends the registration of a vehicle which has been documented five times within an eighteen month period by a photo violation monitoring device for failure of an operator thereof to comply with traffic-control indications for a period of ninety days.
This bill amends the Vehicle and Traffic Law to suspend the registration of a vehicle that has been documented five times by a photo violation monitoring device for failure to comply with traffic-control indications. The suspension will occur if the owner of the vehicle has been found liable for failure to comply with traffic-control indications through the installation and operation of traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring systems. The suspension will last for a period of ninety days. The bill also updates the section headings and paragraphs (a) and (c) of section 514 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law to include certifying convictions, findings of liability, forfeitures, and nonappearances to the commissioner. The bill takes effect one year after it becomes a law and applies to violations committed on and after that date.
