AND EMPOWERED TO ADOPT AND AMEND A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A SCHOOL BUS
SAFETY CAMERA PROGRAM IMPOSING MONETARY LIABILITY ON THE OWNER OF A
VEHICLE FOR FAILURE OF AN OPERATOR THEREOF TO COMPLY WITH SECTION ELEVEN

OF EDUCATION OR SCHOOL DISTRICT OR SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION CONTRACTOR
THAT HAS CONTRACTED WITH SUCH SCHOOL DISTRICT TO INSTALL SCHOOL BUS
SAFETY CAMERAS UPON SCHOOL BUSES OPERATED BY OR CONTRACTED WITH SUCH
DISTRICT.
2. SUCH PROGRAM SHALL UTILIZE NECESSARY TECHNOLOGIES TO ENSURE, TO THE
EXTENT PRACTICABLE, THAT PHOTOGRAPHS PRODUCED BY SUCH SCHOOL BUS SAFETY
CAMERAS SHALL NOT INCLUDE IMAGES THAT IDENTIFY THE DRIVER, THE PASSEN-
GERS, OR THE CONTENTS OF THE VEHICLE. 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 VEHICLE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS MADE A
REASONABLE EFFORT TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
(B) IN ANY SCHOOL DISTRICT WHICH HAS ADOPTED A RESOLUTION PURSUANT TO
SUBDIVISION (A) OF THIS SECTION, THE OWNER OF A VEHICLE SHALL BE LIABLE
FOR A PENALTY IMPOSED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION IF SUCH VEHICLE WAS USED
S. 9031 3
OR OPERATED WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE OWNER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN
VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF
THIS TITLE, AND SUCH VIOLATION IS EVIDENCED BY INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM
A SCHOOL BUS SAFETY CAMERA; PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT NO OWNER OF A VEHICLE
SHALL BE LIABLE FOR A PENALTY IMPOSED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION WHERE THE
OPERATOR OF SUCH VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF THE UNDERLYING VIOLATION

PROVIDED IN ARTICLE TWO-B OF THIS CHAPTER. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION,
"SCHOOL BUS SAFETY CAMERA" SHALL MEAN AN AUTOMATED PHOTO MONITORING
DEVICE AFFIXED TO THE OUTSIDE OF A SCHOOL BUS AND DESIGNATED TO DETECT
AND STORE ONE OR MORE IMAGES OF MOTOR VEHICLES THAT OVERTAKE OR PASS
SCHOOL BUSES IN VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED
SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE.
(D) NO SCHOOL DISTRICT OR SCHOOL BUS TRANSPORTATION CONTRACTOR THAT
HAS INSTALLED CAMERAS PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL ACCESS THE IMAGES
FROM SUCH CAMERAS BUT SHALL PROVIDE, PURSUANT TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
APPROPRIATE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OR AGENCIES, FOR THE PROPER HANDLING
AND CUSTODY OF SUCH IMAGES FOR THE FORWARDING OF SUCH IMAGES FROM SUCH
CAMERAS TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE AREA IN

LIABILITY ON THE OWNER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE FOR ILLEGALLY OVERTAKING OR
PASSING A SCHOOL BUS IN VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF SECTION ELEVEN
HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE. AFTER RECEIPT OF SUCH IMAGES A
POLICE OFFICER SHALL INSPECT SUCH IMAGES TO DETERMINE WHETHER A
VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF
THIS TITLE WAS COMMITTED. UPON SUCH A FINDING A CERTIFICATE, SWORN TO OR
AFFIRMED BY AN OFFICER OF SUCH AGENCY, OR A FACSIMILE THEREOF, BASED
UPON INSPECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS, MICROPHOTOGRAPHS OR OTHER RECORDED
IMAGES PRODUCED BY A SCHOOL BUS SAFETY CAMERA, SHALL BE PRIMA FACIE
EVIDENCE OF THE FACTS CONTAINED THEREIN. ANY PHOTOGRAPHS, MICROPHOTO-
GRAPHS OR OTHER RECORDED IMAGES EVIDENCING SUCH A VIOLATION SHALL BE
AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING TO ADJUDICATE THE LIABILITY
FOR SUCH VIOLATION.
(E) AN OWNER FOUND LIABLE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION FOR A VIOLATION OF
SUBDIVISION (A) OF SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE

PORTION OF THE MONETARY PENALTY THAT EQUALS THE COST TO THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT OF PURCHASING AND MAINTAINING THE CAMERAS. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL
PREVENT THE MUNICIPALITY FROM ENTERING INTO A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTAND-
ING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO RETURN AN ADDITIONAL PORTION OF SUCH
PENALTY RECEIVED TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
(F) AN IMPOSITION OF LIABILITY UNDER 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.
(G) 1. A NOTICE OF LIABILITY SHALL BE SENT BY THE RESPECTIVE LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY BY FIRST CLASS MAIL TO EACH PERSON ALLEGED TO BE
LIABLE AS AN OWNER FOR A VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF SECTION ELEVEN
HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION. PERSONAL
DELIVERY ON THE OWNER SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED. A MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC
S. 9031 4
RECORD OF MAILING PREPARED IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS SHALL BE
PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE OF THE FACTS CONTAINED THEREIN.
2. A 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 SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE PURSUANT TO

THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW OR, IF THERE BE NONE,
BY THE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS, EXCEPT THAT
ANY CITY WHICH HAS ESTABLISHED OR DESIGNATED AN ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL
TO HEAR AND DETERMINE OWNER LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY THIS ARTICLE FOR
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH TRAFFIC-CONTROL INDICATIONS SHALL USE SUCH TRIBU-
NAL TO ADJUDICATE THE LIABILITY IMPOSED BY THIS SECTION.
(I) IF AN OWNER RECEIVES A NOTICE OF LIABILITY PURSUANT TO THIS
SECTION FOR ANY TIME PERIOD DURING WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS REPORTED TO A
POLICE DEPARTMENT AS HAVING BEEN STOLEN, IT SHALL BE A VALID DEFENSE TO
AN ALLEGATION OF LIABILITY FOR A VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF SECTION
ELEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION THAT
THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPORTED TO THE POLICE AS STOLEN PRIOR TO THE TIME
THE VIOLATION OCCURRED AND HAD NOT BEEN RECOVERED BY SUCH TIME. FOR

BE SUFFICIENT THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT ON THE STOLEN
VEHICLE BE SENT BY FIRST CLASS MAIL TO THE TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS BUREAU,
COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OR PARKING VIOLATIONS BUREAU.
(J) WHERE THE ADJUDICATION OF LIABILITY IMPOSED UPON OWNERS PURSUANT
TO THIS SECTION IS BY AN ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL, TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
BUREAU, OR A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, AN OWNER WHO IS A LESSOR OF A
VEHICLE TO WHICH A NOTICE OF LIABILITY WAS ISSUED PURSUANT TO SUBDIVI-
SION (G) OF THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE VIOLATION OF SUBDI-
VISION (A) OF SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE,
PROVIDED THAT HE OR SHE SENDS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL, TRAFFIC
VIOLATIONS BUREAU, OR COURT HAVING JURISDICTION A COPY OF THE RENTAL,
LEASE OR OTHER SUCH CONTRACT DOCUMENT COVERING SUCH VEHICLE ON THE DATE
OF THE VIOLATION, WITH THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE LESSEE CLEARLY LEGI-
BLE, WITHIN THIRTY-SEVEN DAYS AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE FROM THE BUREAU OR
COURT OF THE DATE AND TIME OF SUCH VIOLATION, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER
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 PENALTY PRESCRIBED BY THIS SECTION.
WHERE THE LESSOR COMPLIES WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH, THE
LESSEE OF SUCH VEHICLE ON THE DATE OF SUCH VIOLATION SHALL BE DEEMED TO
BE THE OWNER OF SUCH VEHICLE FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, SHALL BE
SUBJECT TO LIABILITY FOR THE VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF SECTION
S. 9031 5
ELEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION AND
SHALL BE SENT A NOTICE OF LIABILITY PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION (G) OF THIS
SECTION.
(K) 1. IF THE OWNER LIABLE FOR A VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISION (A) OF
SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR OF THIS TITLE PURSUANT TO THIS
SECTION WAS NOT THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE
VIOLATION, THE OWNER MAY MAINTAIN AN ACTION FOR INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST
THE OPERATOR.
2. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, NO OWNER OF A
VEHICLE SHALL BE SUBJECT TO A MONETARY FINE IMPOSED PURSUANT TO THIS
SECTION IF THE OPERATOR OF SUCH VEHICLE WAS OPERATING SUCH VEHICLE WITH-
OUT THE CONSENT OF THE OWNER AT THE TIME SUCH OPERATOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE
BEEN OVERTAKING OR PASSING A SCHOOL BUS. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVI-
SION THERE SHALL BE A PRESUMPTION THAT THE OPERATOR OF SUCH VEHICLE WAS
OPERATING SUCH VEHICLE WITH THE CONSENT OF THE OWNER AT THE TIME SUCH
OPERATOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE BEEN OVERTAKING OR PASSING A SCHOOL BUS.
