 IN SENATE

 March 12, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. ROLISON -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to adjudi-
 cations and owner liability for a violation of traffic-control signal
 indications in the city of Poughkeepsie; to amend the public officers
 law, in relation to accessing records; and providing for the repeal of
 certain provisions upon expiration thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 1111-j to read as follows:
 3 § 1111-j. Owner liability for failure of operator to comply with
 4 traffic-control indications; city of Poughkeepsie. (a) 1. Notwithstand-
 5 ing any other provision of law, the city of Poughkeepsie is hereby
 6 authorized and empowered to adopt and amend a local law or ordinance
 7 establishing a demonstration program imposing monetary liability on the
 8 owner of a vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to comply with
 9 traffic-control indications in such city in accordance with the
 10 provisions of this section. Such demonstration program shall empower
 11 such city to install and operate traffic-control signal photo viola-
 12 tion-monitoring devices at no more than nine intersections within such
 13 city at any one time.
 14 2. Such demonstration program shall utilize necessary technologies to
 15 ensure, to the extent practicable, that photographs produced by such
 16 traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring systems shall not
 17 include images that identify the driver, the passengers, or the contents
 18 of the vehicle. Provided, however, that no notice of liability issued
 19 pursuant to this section shall be dismissed solely because a photograph
 20 or photographs allow for the identification of the contents of a vehi-
 21 cle, provided that such city has made a reasonable effort to comply with
 22 the provisions of this paragraph.
 23 (b) In any such city which has adopted a local law or ordinance pursu-
 24 ant to subdivision (a) of this section, the owner of a vehicle shall be
 25 liable for a penalty imposed pursuant to this section if such vehicle
