BILL NUMBER:S870 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to authorizing certain cities to adjudicate traffic infractions PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This legislation would allow the city of Buffalo the same authority offered to its surrounding suburbs to adjudicate traffic violations. Currently, the state of New York adjudicates all traffic violations in the city of Buffalo. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1. Amends the vehicle and traffic law. JUSTIFICATION: The purpose of this legislation is to allow the city of Buffalo to adjudicate traffic infractions. New York State currently holds all hearings in Buffalo without the option of a plea bargain system. If the City of Buffalo adjudicates traffic infractions they will implement a system that would allow traffic violators to have an option of a plea bargain, which could lead to traffic school. This system would offer two benefits to Buffalo residents now currently

This system would offer two benefits to Buffalo residents now currently enjoyed by suburban residents; the violator would be allowed to attend traffic school thus hopefully becoming a safer and better driver and also after attending school would not receive any points on his/her license which in turn raises his/her insurance rates.
