 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and public officers law, in
 relation to establishing a demonstration program implementing inter-
 section monitoring systems and owner liability for failure of an oper-
 ator to comply with stopping requirements at intersections; and
 providing for the repeal of certain provisions upon expiration thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 2 section 1175-a to read as follows:

 4 stopping requirements at intersections; city of New York. (a) 1.
 5 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the city of New York is
 6 hereby authorized and empowered to adopt and amend a local law or ordi-
 7 nance establishing a demonstration program imposing monetary liability
 8 on the owner of a vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to comply
 9 with section eleven hundred seventy-five of this article in such city,
 10 in accordance with the provisions of this section. Such demonstration
 11 program shall empower such city to install and operate intersection
 12 monitoring devices at no more than forty intersections within such city
 13 at any one time.
 14 2. Such demonstration program shall utilize necessary technologies to

 17 toring systems shall not include images that identify the driver, the
 18 passengers, or the contents of the vehicle. Provided, however, that no
 19 notice of liability issued pursuant to this section shall be dismissed
 20 solely because a photograph, microphotographs, videotape or other
 21 recorded images allows for the identification of the contents of a vehi-
 22 cle, provided that such city has made a reasonable effort to comply with
 23 the provisions of this paragraph.
 24 (b) In any such city which has adopted a local law or ordinance pursu-
