BILL NUMBER: S4524

SPONSOR: KENNEDY
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to school bus photo violation monitoring systems and owner
liability for failure of operator to stop for a school bus displaying a
red visual signal; to amend the general municipal law, in relation to
jurisdiction and procedure; to amend the public officers law, in
relation to certain photographs, videotapes or other recorded images; to
amend the education law, in relation to authorizing school districts to
enter into agreements with municipalities for the installation and use
of school bus photo violation monitoring systems; and providing for the
repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This legislation is intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare
of schoolchildren riding school buses.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Sections 1 through 8-g amend provisions of Article 2-B of the Vehicle
and Traffic Law (VTL) in relation to parking violations bureau adjudi-
cation of notices of liability issued for the failure of motor vehicle
operators to comply with VTL § 1174 (overtaking and passing stopped
school buses displaying red visual signals);

Section 9 establishes a demonstration program authorizing counties not
wholly contained with a city, cities, towns and villages to enact local
laws or ordinances imposing liability on vehicle owners for the failure
of motor vehicle operators to comply with VTL § 1174 (overtaking and
passing stopped school buses displaying red visual signals), within
parameters established by this section. The demonstration program would
empower these municipalities to install and operate school bus photo
violation monitoring systems (stationary or mobile), which could be
installed on school buses owned or operated by the school district with-
in the municipality pursuant to an agreement. All costs would be borne
by the municipalities subject to the agreements;

Sections 10 through 11-f amend VTL §§ 1809 and 1809-e to exempt notices
of liability issued under the school bus photo violation monitoring
demonstration program from mandatory State traffic ticket surcharges;

Section 12 amends VTL § 1803 to provide for the distribution of fines
and penalties collected under demonstration programs established by
counties;

Sections 13 through 13-d amend General Municipal Law (GML) § 371 in
relation to traffic violations bureau adjudication of notices of liabil-
ity issued for the failure of motor vehicle operators to comply with VTL
§ 1174 (overtaking and passing stopped school buses displaying red visu-
al signals);

Sections 14 and 14-a amend GML § 371(2) in relation to Nassau and
Suffolk County traffic and parking violations agencies' assistance to
the respective counties' district courts in the disposition and adminis-
tration of liability of motor vehicle owners for operators' failure to
comply with VTL § 1174 (overtaking and passing stopped school buses
displaying red visual signals);
Section 15 amends Public Officers Law § 87 to exempt photographs, micro-
photographs, videotape, or other recorded images prepared under the
school bus photo violation monitoring demonstration program from freedom
of information law disclosure;

Section 16 requires that the purchase or lease of equipment for the
school bus photo violation monitoring demonstration program be subject
to GML § 103 (relating to procurement requirements);

Sections 17 through 21 amend Education Law §§ 1604, 1709, 2503, 2554,
and 2590-h to authorize common school districts, union free school
districts, city school districts in cities with a population below
125,000, city school districts in cities with a population above
125,000, and the New York City school district to enter agreements with
municipalities within such districts for the installation and use of
school bus photo violation monitoring systems;

Section 22 adds a provision to the Unconsolidated Law regarding agree-
ments between municipalities and school districts;

Section 23 adds a provision to the Unconsolidated Law relating to the
issuance of warning notices to motor vehicle owners; and

Section 24 provides that the law would take effect 30 days after enact-
ment, and expire and be deemed repealed December 1, 2023.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Under current law, a ticket for illegally passing a stopped school bus
displaying a red visual signal can be issued only by a police officer
who witnesses the violation. This bill provides for additional enforce-
ment options by authorizing a demonstration program to allow local
governments to impose liability on the owners of motor vehicles for the
failure of the drivers of such vehicles to comply with the law prohibit-
ing the overtaking and passing of stopped school buses displaying red
visual signals. The program allows for the use of mobile cameras mounted
on school buses, as well as stationary cameras, with the cost to be
borne solely by the municipalities.

Many efforts in New York State have already been undertaken to combat
this problem, with some positive results, such as OPERATION SAFE STOP.
However, the number of violations continues to be alarming. A recent
one-day survey done by the NYS Association for School Pupil Transporta-
tion yielded astounding results and underscores the need for this legis-
lation. On May 1st, 2013, the Association found that the 236 school bus
drivers in 21 school districts in New York in rural, urban and small
city settings that participated in the survey reported 306 illegal pass-
es including 6 "right side" passes. That represents an average of 1.28
illegal passes per school bus. That number, if extrapolated, would bring
the estimated number of illegal passes in the State to over 64,000 on
that date alone.  Other studies have estimated that more than 50,000
drivers throughout New York on a single school day illegally pass
stopped school buses.

New York has long recognized the paramount importance of protecting
school children transported on school buses, with strong laws and regu-
lations governing school bus operation and safety equipment, school bus
driver qualifications and training, and mandatory stops by other motor-
ists. The use of school bus photo violation monitoring systems (cameras)
is necessary to prevent further deaths and injuries caused by dangerous
motorists who ignore current law. Several other states, including Geor-
gia, Maryland, North Carolina, Iowa, Virginia, Connecticut, and Washing-
ton, have enacted legislation similar to this bill in response to a
growing national concern over illegal passing, or "stop arm violations."
This bill will expand the enforcement tools available in New York to
further address this issue, and will significantly lessen the numbers of
violations that continue to compromise the health, safety and well-being
of our students.

BILL NUMBER: S4524A

SPONSOR: KENNEDY
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to school bus safety cameras and owner liability for operator
illegally overtaking or passing a school bus; to amend the general
municipal law, in relation to jurisdiction and procedure; to amend the
public officers law, in relation to certain photographs, videotapes or
other recorded images; and to amend the education law, in relation to
authorizing school districts to enter into agreements for the installa-
tion and use of school bus safety cameras

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This legislation is intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare
of schoolchildren riding school buses.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Sections 1 through 7-f amend provisions of Article 2-B of the Vehicle
and Traffic Law (VTL) in relation to parking violations bureau adjudi-

cation of notices of liability issued for the failure of motor vehicle
operators to comply with VTL § 1174 (overtaking and passing stopped
school buses displaying red visual signals);

Section 8 establishes a program authorizing a county, city, cities,
towns and villages to enact local laws or ordinances imposing liability
on vehicle owners for the failure of motor vehicle operators to comply
with VTL § 1174 (overtaking and passing stopped school buses displaying
red visual signals), within parameters established by this section.

Sections 9 through 10-f amend VTL §§ 1809 and 1809-e to exempt notices
of liability issued under the school bus photo violation monitoring
demonstration program from mandatory State traffic ticket surcharges;

Section 11 amends section 371 of the GML

Sections 12 amends section 87 of the public officers law, related to
photographs and videotape

Sections 13 and 14 amend Education Law Sections 1604 and 1709

Section 15 relates to local laws enacted by local government entities.

Sections 16 relates to notices of liability

Section 17 is the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Under current law, a ticket for illegally passing a stopped school bus
displaying a red visual signal can be issued only by a police officer
who witnesses the violation. This bill provides for additional enforce-
ment options by authorizing a program to allow local governments to
impose liability on the owners of motor vehicles for the failure of the
drivers of such vehicles to comply with the law prohibiting the overtak-
ing and passing of stopped school buses displaying red visual signals.
The program allows for the use of mobile cameras mounted on school
buses, as well as stationary cameras.
Many efforts in New York State have already been undertaken to combat
this problem, with some positive results, such as OPERATION SAFE STOP.
However, the number of violations continues to be alarming. A recent
one-day survey done by the NYS Association for School Pupil Transporta-
tion yielded astounding results and underscores the need for this legis-
lation. On May 1st, 2013, the Association found that the 236 school bus
drivers in 21 school districts in New York in rural, urban and small
city settings that participated in the survey reported 306 illegal pass-
es including 6 "right side" passes.  That represents an average of 1.28
illegal passes per school bus.  That number, if extrapolated, would
bring the estimated number of illegal passes in the State to over 64,000
on that date alone. Other studies have estimated that more than 50,000
drivers throughout New York on a single school day illegally pass
stopped school buses.

New York has long recognized the paramount importance of protecting
school children transported on school buses, with strong laws and regu-
lations governing school bus operation and safety equipment, school bus
driver qualifications and training, and mandatory stops by other motor-
ists. The use of school bus photo violation monitoring systems (cameras)
is necessary to prevent further deaths and injuries caused by dangerous
motorists who ignore current law. Several other states, including Geor-
gia, Maryland, North Carolina, Iowa, Virginia, Connecticut, and Washing-
ton, have enacted legislation similar to this bill in response to a
growing national concern over illegal passing, or "stop arm violations."
This bill will expand the enforcement tools available in New York to
further address this issue, and will significantly lessen the numbers of
violations that continue to compromise the health, safety and well-being
of our students.

BILL NUMBER: S4524B

SPONSOR: KENNEDY
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in
relation to school bus safety cameras and owner liability for operator
illegally overtaking or passing a school bus; to amend the general
municipal law, in relation to jurisdiction and procedure; to amend the
public officers law, in relation to certain photographs, videotapes or
other recorded images; and to amend the education law, in relation to
authorizing school districts to enter into agreements for the installa-
tion and use of school bus safety cameras

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This legislation is intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare
of schoolchildren riding school buses.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Sections 1 through 8-g amend provisions of Article 2-B of the Vehicle
and Traffic Law (VTL) in relation to parking violations bureau adjudi-

cation of notices of liability issued for the failure of motor vehicle
operators to comply with VTL § 1174 (overtaking and passing stopped
school buses displaying red visual signals);

Section 9 establishes a demonstration program authorizing counties not
wholly contained with a city, cities, towns and villages to enact local
laws or ordinances imposing liability on vehicle owners for the failure
of motor vehicle operators to comply with VTL § 1174 (overtaking and
passing stopped school buses displaying red visual signals), within
parameters established by this section. The demonstration program would
empower these municipalities to install and operate school bus photo
violation monitoring systems (stationary or mobile), which could be
installed on school buses owned or operated by the school district with-
in the municipality pursuant to an agreement. All costs would be borne
by the municipalities subject to the agreements;

Sections 10 through 11-f amend VTL §§ 1809 and 1809-e to exempt notices
of liability issued under the school bus photo violation monitoring
demonstration program from mandatory State traffic ticket surcharges;

Section 12 amends VTL § 1803 to provide for the distribution of fines
and penalties collected under demonstration programs established by
counties;

Sections 13 through 13-d amend General Municipal Law (GML) § 371 in
relation to traffic violations bureau adjudication of notices of liabil-
ity issued for the failure of motor vehicle operators to comply with VTL
§ 1174 (overtaking and passing stopped school buses displaying red visu-
al signals);

Sections 14 and 14-a amend GML § 371(2) in relation to Nassau and
Suffolk County traffic and parking violations agencies' assistance to
the respective counties' district courts in the disposition and adminis-
tration of liability of motor vehicle owners for operators' failure to
comply with VTL § 1174 (overtaking and passing stopped school buses
displaying red visual signals);


Section 15 amends Public Officers Law § 87 to exempt photographs, micro-
photographs, videotape, or other recorded images prepared under the
school bus photo violation monitoring demonstration program from freedom
of information law disclosure;

Section 16 requires that the purchase or lease of equipment for the
school bus photo violation monitoring demonstration program be subject
to GML § 103 (relating to procurement requirements);

Sections 17 through 21 amend Education Law §§ 1604, 1709, 2503, 2554,
and 2590-h to authorize common school districts, union free school
districts, city school districts in cities with a population below
125,000, city school districts in cities with a population above
125,000, and the New York City school district to enter agreements with
municipalities within such districts for the installation and use of
school bus photo violation monitoring systems;

Section 22 adds a provision to the Unconsolidated Law regarding agree-
ments between municipalities and school districts;

Section 23 adds a provision to the Unconsolidated Law relating to the
issuance of warning notices to motor vehicle owners; and

Section 24 adds a provision to the Unconsolidated Law related to the
sharing of an annual report with local law enforcement

Section 25 sets the effective date of 30 days after enactment, and a
sunset after five years.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Under current law, a ticket for illegally passing a stopped school bus
displaying a red visual signal can be issued only by a police officer
who witnesses the violation. This bill provides for additional enforce-
ment options by authorizing a demonstration program to allow local
governments to impose liability on the owners of motor vehicles for the
failure of the drivers of such vehicles to comply with the law prohibit-
ing the overtaking and passing of stopped school buses displaying red
visual signals. The program allows for the use of mobile cameras mounted
on school buses, as well as stationary cameras, with the cost to be
borne solely by the municipalities. Fines will start at $250 for a first
offense, $275 for a second, and $300 for a third or subsequent fine
within an eighteen month period.

Many efforts in New York State have already been undertaken to combat
this problem, with some positive results, such as OPERATION SAFE STOP.
However, the number of violations continues to be alarming. A recent
one-day survey done by the NYS Association for School Pupil Transporta-
tion yielded astounding results and underscores the need for this legis-
lation. On May 1st, 2013, the Association found that the 236 school bus
drivers in 21 school districts in New York in rural, urban and small
city settings that participated in the survey reported 306 illegal pass-
es including 6 "right side" passes.  That represents an average of 1.28
illegal passes per school bus. That number, if extrapolated, would bring
the estimated number of illegal passes in the State to over 64,000 on
that date alone.


Other studies have estimated that more than 50,000 drivers throughout
New York on a single school day illegally pass stopped school buses.

New York has long recognized the paramount importance of protecting
school children transported on school buses, with strong laws and regu-
lations governing school bus operation and safety equipment, school bus
driver qualifications and training, and mandatory stops by other motor-
ists. The use of school bus photo violation monitoring systems (cameras)
is necessary to prevent further deaths and injuries caused by dangerous
motorists who ignore current law. Several other states, including Geor-
gia, Maryland, North Carolina, Iowa, Virginia, Connecticut, and Washing-
ton, have enacted legislation similar to this bill in response to a
growing national concern over illegal passing, or "stop arm violations."
This bill will expand the enforcement tools available in New York to
further address this issue, and will significantly lessen the numbers of
violations that continue to compromise the health, safety and well-being
of our students.
