Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO SPEED LIMITS, INCLUDING THE SPEED LIMIT RANGE FOR WHICH CERTAIN EXCESSIVE SPEED VIOLATIONS CANNOT BE CONSIDERED FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES AND THE DEFAULT SPEED LIMIT FOR ALL VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, AND MAKING PENALTIES APPLICABLE.

AI Summary

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, modifies speed limit regulations by adjusting the range of minor speeding violations that cannot be considered for certain purposes, such as insurance rates or license suspensions, and also changes the default speed limit for all vehicular traffic. Specifically, the first two speeding violations within a twelve-month period that are ten miles per hour or less over the speed limit in zones with a speed limit between thirty-four and sixty-one miles per hour will not be counted against a driver for these purposes. Additionally, the general default speed limit for all vehicular traffic will be increased from fifty-five to sixty miles per hour. The bill also includes provisions for updating speed limit signs using temporary overlays until permanent replacements are made.
