Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Titles 40, 42, and 43 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to motor vehicles and traffic, penal institutions, and professions and businesses, respectively, so as to provide for intelligent speed assistance device limited driving permits for certain suspensions of driver's licenses upon conviction for reckless stunt driving; to provide for procedures, conditions, and fees for the issuance of such permits; to provide for revocation of such permit; to provide for hearings; to provide for electronic delivery of notices and communications; to provide for the purchase or lease of intelligent speed assistance devices by counties, municipalities, or private entities; to provide for certification of intelligent speed assistance devices; to provide for warning labels; to provide for revocation of probation; to revise a short title; to provide for licenses to operate provider centers for those that install, maintain, and monitor intelligent speed assistance devices; to provide for definitions; to provide for rules and regulations; to provide an effective date; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill introduces "intelligent speed assistance devices" (ISADs), which are certified devices installed in vehicles to monitor and prevent drivers from exceeding a set speed, distinguishing them from built-in vehicle speed control technology, and establishes "provider centers" for their installation and maintenance. For individuals convicted of reckless stunt driving, a second offense within five years will now allow for the possibility of obtaining a limited driving permit equipped with an ISAD, instead of a full license suspension, though the permit can be revoked for violations or tampering with the device. This new permit has specific eligibility requirements, a fee, and a validity period, with provisions for renewal and stricter penalties for subsequent revocations. The bill also expands the definition of "electronic monitoring" to include ISADs for probation purposes and requires provider centers to be licensed and adhere to specific regulations, including the use of warning labels on installed devices, while prohibiting certain individuals from owning or operating these centers.
