No. 971-A\n\nBy Council Members Lander, Torres, Reynoso, Richards, Menchaca, Adams, Levin, Van Bramer, Gibson, Treyger, Rosenthal, Powers, Brannan, Ayala, Rodriguez, Rivera, Ampry-Samuel, Holden, Koslowitz, Constantinides, Chin, the Public Advocate (Mr. Williams), Cumbo, Levine, Salamanca, Cornegy, Kallos, Dromm, Moya, Barron, Louis, Cohen, Rose and Eugene\n\nA Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to a creating a dangerous vehicle abatement program\n\nBe it enacted by the Council as follows:\n\nSection 1. Declaration of legislative intent and findings. The council finds and declares that more than 200 people in New York city are killed each year in traffic crashes. Being struck by a vehicle is the leading cause of injury-related death for children under 14, and the second leading cause for senior citizens. The council notes that in a recent analysis by the New York city department of transportation, vehicles with the most school speed camera violations per year or the most red light camera violations per year were more likely to be involved in injury crashes than vehicles with few or no violations. The council believes that vehicles which have been involved in multiple red light camera and school speed camera violations would be less dangerous if their registered owners were educated regarding the dangers of exceeding speed limits and failing to comply with traffic signals. The council therefore finds it necessary and appropriate to establish a program to require such education for the registered owners of such vehicles to the extent practicable.\n\n* * *\n\n[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]\n\n* * *\n\n§ 3. This local law takes effect eight months after it becomes law and applies to red light camera and school speed camera violations, as defined in section 19-199.2 of subchapter 4 of chapter 1 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by section two of this local law, committed on and after such effective date, provided that:\n\n(i) section 19-199.4, 19-199.5 and 19-199.6 of subchapter 4 of chapter 1 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by section two of this local law, shall take effect twelve months after it becomes law;\n\n(ii) that the department of transportation, the department of finance, the office of administrative trials and hearings, and the city sheriff shall take such measures as are necessary for the implementation of this local law, including the promulgation of rules, prior to such date; and\n\n(iii) this local law shall remain in effect for 36 months, after which it is deemed repealed.\n\nNotwithstanding the repeal of this local law, the provisions of this local law shall remain in effect for any registered owner required to take a safe vehicle operation course pursuant to subchapter 4 of chapter 1 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York, as added by this local law, prior to such repeal.","path":["New York City Administrative Code","2020"],"source_url":"https://files.amlegal.com/pdffiles/NewYorkCity/Admin/XML.zip","current_through":"Local Law 2026/135 (enacted August 31, 2026)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-06T02:48:57Z","sha256":"97f80301bf13ade5e4db75cb5c909a592820e2ad5483a352953912afbe3e10cf","source_id":"us-nyc","stale":false,"prev":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-2020-035","next":"us-nyc/n.y.c.-admin.-code-l.l.-2020-037"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
