 AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the amount
 of owner liability for failure of a vehicle operator to stop for a

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

 1 Section 1. Subdivision (e) of section 1174-a of the vehicle and traf-
 2 fic law, as added by chapter 145 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read
 3 as follows:
 4 (e) An owner liable for a violation of subdivision (a) of section
 5 eleven hundred seventy-four of this article pursuant to a local law or
 6 ordinance adopted pursuant to this section shall be liable for monetary
 7 penalties in accordance with a schedule of fines and penalties to be set
 8 forth in such local law or ordinance, except that if a city by local law
 9 has authorized the adjudication of such owner liability by a parking
 10 violations bureau, such schedule shall be promulgated by such bureau.
 11 The liability of the owner pursuant to this section shall be two hundred
 12 fifty dollars for [a first] each violation[, two hundred seventy-five
 13 dollars for a second violation both of which were committed within a
 14 period of eighteen months, and three hundred dollars for a third or
 15 subsequent violation all of which were committed within a period of
 16 eighteen months]; provided, however, that such local law or ordinance
 17 may provide for an additional penalty not in excess of twenty-five
 18 dollars for each violation for the failure to respond to a notice of
 19 liability within the prescribed time period.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
 21 the amendments to subdivision (e) of section 1174-a of the vehicle and
 22 traffic law made by section one of this act shall not affect the repeal
 23 of such section and shall be deemed repealed therewith.
