Directs municipalities to create a program for bystander reporting of stolen, false or fraudulent license plates.
The bill directs all municipalities in New York to create a program for bystanders to report suspected stolen, false, or fraudulent license plates to local enforcement authorities. It defines "bystander" as any person who observes a number plate on a motor vehicle that they believe violates the law. Municipalities must publish online information about the program, including best practices for filing a report. Bystanders who provide information leading to a conviction can receive 25% of the fine imposed.
