Bill > HB1686

This bill establishes an Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) program administered by the Department of Safety to require certain motor vehicle offenders to install speed-limiting devices in their vehicles. Specifically, the bill mandates that drivers convicted of speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour or certified as habitual offenders must install an ISA device, which uses global positioning or vehicle telemetry to either limit vehicle speed or alert drivers when they exceed posted speed limits. The program serves as an alternative to license suspension and will be in effect for 6 months to 2 years, depending on the offense. Offenders are responsible for all costs associated with purchasing, installing, and maintaining the device, and tampering with or disabling the ISA device will be considered a misdemeanor that could result in additional penalties, including license suspension. The Department of Safety will develop rules for device standards, program entry and exit requirements, and reporting mechanisms, with the program set to take effect on January 1, 2027. The goal of the program is to improve road safety by providing a technological intervention for drivers with a history of dangerous speeding.
