Bill > A02299

This bill requires the installation of intelligent speed assistance devices (ISA devices) for drivers who accumulate eleven or more points on their driving record within an 18-month period or receive six speed camera or red light camera tickets within a 12-month period. An ISA device is a technology installed in a motor vehicle that limits the vehicle's speed to five miles per hour above the posted speed limit, with slight flexibility for traffic conditions. When a driver meets the triggering criteria, a hearing will be held to determine the mandatory installation of the device. The first violation requires a 12-month device installation, the second violation within ten years requires a 24-month installation, and the third violation within fifteen years requires a 36-month installation. For subsequent violations, the device must remain until the commissioner approves its removal. The driver is responsible for the cost of installing, maintaining, and removing the device, though fee waivers or payment plans may be available for those who cannot afford it. The bill includes provisions for device inspection, reporting, and penalties for tampering with or circumventing the device. The commissioner is required to create lists of approved devices and qualified service providers and submit biennial reports on the program's effectiveness. The law will take effect 180 days after becoming law, with some provisions taking effect one year later.
