Bill > A02299

This bill requires the installation of intelligent speed assistance devices (also known as "speed limiters") for drivers who accumulate eleven or more points on their driving record within a 24-month period or receive six speed camera or red light camera tickets within a twelve-month period. The device would be installed in any motor vehicle owned or operated by the driver for a minimum of twelve months and would cap the vehicle's speed at five miles per hour over the posted speed limit, with some flexibility for traffic conditions. Drivers must have the device professionally installed within ten days of a court order, and they can request a payment plan or fee waiver if they cannot afford the installation. The bill includes strict penalties for tampering with or circumventing the speed limiter, including potential misdemeanor charges. The New York State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles would be responsible for creating a list of approved devices and qualified service providers, and would be required to submit a detailed biennial report to the governor and legislature about the program's implementation and effectiveness. Importantly, the law includes an exemption for vehicles operated by an employer during work hours, though this exemption does not apply if the business is owned or controlled by the driver subject to the speed limiter requirement.
