In December, Minority Leader DeRiggi-Whitton joined her Democratic colleagues in unveiling the “Fair Fees and Accountability Act” - a set of proposals that would permanently repeal excessive and illegal red-light camera fees and create a blueprint for refunding drivers.

Spearheaded by Nassau County Legislator Seth Koslow, the Fair Fees Accountability Act will ensure Nassau drivers are granted justice by creating a dedicated fund in the budget, from which eligible drivers will be reimbursed for the excessive fees they were forced to pay. An independent oversight committee will manage the process to ensure transparency and prevent political interference.
