 9527

 IN SENATE

 March 20, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. WEBB -- 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 Ithaca; to amend the public officers law,
 in relation to accessing records; and providing for the repeal of such
 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 Ithaca. (a) 1. Notwithstanding any
 5 other provision of law, the city of Ithaca is hereby authorized and
 6 empowered to adopt and amend a local law or ordinance establishing a
 7 demonstration program imposing monetary liability on the owner of a
 8 vehicle for failure of an operator thereof to comply with traffic-con-
 9 trol indications in such city in accordance with the provisions of this
 10 section. Such demonstration program shall empower such city to install
 11 and operate traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring devices at
 12 no more than twelve intersections within such city at any one time.
 13 2. Such demonstration program shall utilize necessary technologies to
 14 ensure, to the extent practicable, that photographs produced by such
 15 traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring systems shall not
 16 include images that identify the driver, the passengers, or the contents
 17 of the vehicle. Provided, however, that no notice of liability issued
 18 pursuant to this section shall be dismissed solely because a photograph
 19 or photographs allow for the identification of the contents of a vehi-
 20 cle, provided that such city has made a reasonable effort to comply with
 21 the provisions of this paragraph.
 22 (b) In any such city which has adopted a local law or ordinance pursu-
 23 ant to subdivision (a) of this section, the owner of a vehicle shall be
 24 liable for a penalty imposed pursuant to this section if such vehicle
 25 was used or operated with the permission of the owner, express or
