[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of North
Hills 10-10-1979 by L.L. No. 11-1979 (Ch.
56 of the 1982 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Village Justice Court is hereby authorized to establish a Traffic
Violations Bureau to assist the Court in the disposition of offenses in relation
to traffic violations.
Such Traffic Violations Bureau, when established, is authorized to dispose
of violations of traffic laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, including
parking violations, when such offenses do not constitute the traffic infraction
known as speeding or a misdemeanor or felony, by permitting a person charged
with an offense, within the limitations stated in Article 14-B of the General
Municipal Law, to answer, at any time between the receipt of the summons and
a time 48 hours prior to the return day thereof, at such Traffic Violations
Bureau, either in person or by written general or special power of attorney,
by paying a prescribed fine and, in writing, waiving a hearing in court, pleading
guilty to the charge and authorizing the person in charge of the Bureau to
make such a plea and pay such a fine in Court.
Such Traffic Violations Bureau shall have the powers and shall be subject
to the limitations set forth in Article 14-B of the General Municipal Law
and shall be subject to such additional limitations as the Court establishing
it may designate.
The procedure before such Traffic Violations Bureau shall be that provided
in said Article 14-B of the General Municipal Law.
