Bill > S04045

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 eighteen-month period or receive six speed camera or red light camera tickets within a twelve-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 some flexibility for traffic conditions. For first-time offenders, the device must be installed for twelve months; for second-time offenders within ten years, the installation period increases to twenty-four months; and for third-time offenders within fifteen years, the period extends to thirty-six months. The cost of installing, maintaining, and removing the device will be borne by the driver, though fee waivers or payment plans may be available for those who cannot afford the expense. Drivers are prohibited from tampering with or removing the device, and violations can result in a class A misdemeanor. The bill also requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to submit biennial reports on the program's implementation and effectiveness, including data on the number of devices installed, traffic infractions, and compliance. The law will take effect 180 days after becoming law, with some provisions taking effect one year later.
