§ 255-13.2 School bus stop-arm camera program.

[Added 7-19-2023 by L.L. No. 3-2023]

Purpose. The purpose of this section is to impose monetary liability on the owner of a motor vehicle under circumstances where the operator of the motor vehicle fails to stop for a school bus displaying a red visual signal and stop-arm. Vehicle operators often fail to stop for a school bus displaying a red visual signal and stop-arm, thus creating a hazardous and dangerous condition for passengers, especially children, who board and depart from a stopped school bus. The installation of cameras on the school bus stop-arm is intended to increase safety for passengers boarding and departing the school bus by imposing financial liability on the owner of the vehicle, in order to deter such dangerous behavior.

Definitions. As used in this § 255-13.2, the following definitions shall apply:

OWNER

The registered owner of a motor vehicle.

PERSON

One or more individuals, a partnership, company, association, corporation, limited-liability company, trust, trustee, receiver, or other entity.

SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Scotia-Glenville Central School District.

TOWN

The Town of Glenville, New York.

Adoption of demonstration program. Pursuant to § 1174-a of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, the Town hereby establishes a demonstration program imposing monetary liability on the owner of a motor vehicle for the failure of an operator thereof to comply with § 1174-a of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law when meeting a school bus marked and equipped as provided in Subdivisions 20 and 21-(1)-(c) of § 375 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law and operated in the Town. This demonstration program empowers the Town to install and operate, or to cause to be installed and operated, school bus photo violation monitoring systems which may be stationary or mobile. Such school bus photo violation monitoring systems may be installed on school buses owned and operated by the school district, or on the school buses privately owned and operated for compensation under contract with the school district, provided that no such stationary school bus photo violation monitoring system shall be installed and operated, or caused to be installed and operated, by the Town, except on roadways under the jurisdiction of the Town, and further provided that no such mobile school bus photo violation monitoring system shall be installed or operated on school buses unless the Town and the school district enter into an agreement for such installation and operation.

Custody procedures. As part of the demonstration program, the Town will create procedures for the proper handling and custody of photographs, micro photographs, videotapes and other recorded images and data produced by such mobile school bus photo violation monitoring systems in place on school buses and for the forwarding of such photographs, micro photographs, videotapes and other recorded images and data to the Town. Any such agreement entered into between the Town and the school district must be approved by a majority vote of the Town Board of the Town of Glenville and also by resolution of the board of the school district.

Privacy procedures. As part of the demonstration program, the Town shall adopt and enforce measures to protect the privacy of drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists whose identity and identifying information may be captured by a school bus photo violation monitoring device. Such measures shall include:

Utilization of necessary technologies to ensure, to the extent practicable, that photographs produced by such school bus photo violation monitoring devices shall not include images that identify the driver, the passengers, the contents of the motor vehicle, pedestrians and cyclists; provided, however, that no notice of liability issued pursuant to this section shall be dismissed solely because a photograph or photographs allow for the identification of the contents of a motor vehicle, if the Town has made a reasonable effort to comply with the provisions contained herein;

A prohibition on the use or dissemination of motor vehicles' license plate information and other information and images captured by such school bus photo violation monitoring systems, except:

As required to establish liability under this section or collect payment of penalties;

(b)

As required by court order; or

(c)

As otherwise required by law;

Installation of signage in conformance with standards established in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), as maintained by the Commission of Transportation, at each roadway entrance of the Town boundaries giving notice that school bus photo violation monitoring systems are used to enforce restrictions on motor vehicles violating § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law. For purposes of this section, the term "roadway" shall not include state expressway routes or state interstate routes, but shall include controlled access highway exit ramps that enter or exit the boundaries of the Town;

Photographs, micrographs, videotapes, other recorded images, and data produced by the school bus photo violation monitoring systems shall be destroyed 90 days after final disposition of a notice of liability issued pursuant to this section. All photographic images of motor vehicles which do not depict or result in liability for violation of § 1174-a of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law shall be destroyed by the appropriate school district and law enforcement agency within two days of the determination that no violation occurred; and

(5)

Oversight procedures to ensure compliance with the Town's adopted privacy protection measures as described in this Subsection E.

Owner liability. The owner shall be liable for a monetary penalty imposed pursuant to this section if such vehicle was used or operated with the permission of the owner, expressed or implied, in violation of § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law if such violation is evidenced by information obtained from a school bus photo violation monitoring system; provided, however, that no owner shall be liable for a monetary penalty imposed pursuant to this section where the operator of such motor vehicle has been convicted of the underlying violation of § 1174 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.

Monetary penalties. An owner liable for a violation of Subdivision (a) of § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law shall be liable for monetary penalties as provided herein. The liability of the owner pursuant to this section shall be $250 for a first violation; $275 for a second violation if the first and second were committed within a period of 18 months; and $300 for a third, or subsequent, violation, if all violations were committed within a period of 18 months. An additional penalty in the amount of $25 for each violation shall be due and payable resulting from the failure of the owner to respond to a notice of liability within the prescribed time period.

Effect of imposition of liability. An imposition of liability pursuant to this section shall not be deemed a conviction as an operator and shall not be made part of the operating record of the person upon whom such liability is imposed, nor shall it be used for insurance purposes in the provision of motor vehicle insurance coverage.

Notice of liability. A notice of liability shall be sent by first-class mail to each person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of Subdivision (a) of § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law pursuant to this section. Personal delivery to the owner shall not be required; a manual or automatic record of mailing prepared in the ordinary course of business shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein. The notice of liability shall:

Contain the name and address of the person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of Subdivision (a) of § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law pursuant to this section, the registration number of the vehicle involved in such violation, the location where such violation took place, the date and time of such violation and the identification number of the camera which recorded the violation or other document locator number;

Include information advising the person charged of the manner and the time in which he or she may contest the liability alleged in the notice of liability;

Contain a warning to advise the persons charged that failure to contest in the manner and time provided shall be deemed an admission of liability and that a default judgment may be entered thereon; and

Be prepared and mailed by the Town or by such other entity authorized by the Town to prepare and mail such notice of liability and recover any such monetary penalty.

Adjudication. Adjudication of the liability imposed upon owners by this section shall be made by the Town Court of the Town of Glenville, New York.

Presumption of owner liability. For purposes of this section, there shall be a presumption that the operator of such motor vehicle was operating such vehicle with the consent of the owner at the time such operator failed to comply with § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law.

Defenses.

If an owner receives a notice of liability pursuant to this section for any time period during which the motor vehicle was reported to the police as having been stolen, it shall be a valid defense to the allegation of liability for a violation of Subdivision (a) of § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law pursuant to this section that the motor vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen prior to the time the violation had occurred and had not been recovered by such time. For purposes of asserting a defense provided by this subsection, it shall be sufficient that a certified copy of the police report on the stolen motor vehicle be sent by first-class mail to the Town Court of the Town of Glenville, New York.

Vehicles leased to others. An owner who is a lessor of a vehicle to which notice of liability was issued shall not be liable for the violation of Subdivision (a) of § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, provided the owner sends to the Town Court of the Town of Glenville, New York, a copy of the rental, lease or other such contract document covering such motor vehicle on the date of the violation with the name and address of the lessee clearly legible, within 37 days after receiving notice from the court of the date and time of such violation, together with such other and further information contained in the original notice of liability. Failure to send such information within such thirty-seven-day time period shall render the owner liable for the monetary penalty prescribed by this section. Where the lessor complies with the provisions of this Subsection L, the lessee of such motor vehicle on the date of such violation shall be deemed to be the owner for purposes of this section, shall be subject to liability for the violation of Subdivision (a) of § 1174 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law pursuant to this section and shall be sent a notice of liability pursuant to this section.

Other defenses. No owner shall be subject to a monetary penalty imposed pursuant to this section if:

Such owner can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that such school bus stop-arms were malfunctioning at the time of the alleged violation; or

The operator of such motor vehicle was operating such motor vehicle without the consent of the owner at the time such operator failed to comply with § 1174 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law and the owner of the motor vehicle is able to demonstrate to the court by clear and convincing evidence that the motor vehicle was operated at the time of the violation without the consent of the owner.

Reporting requirements. As required by § 1174-a, the Town must submit an annual report on the results of the use of a school bus photo violation monitoring system to the Governor, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly on or before June 1, 2024, and on the same date in each succeeding year in which the demonstration program is in effect. Such report shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
