Bill > HB2417

This bill introduces a new section to Arizona law that allows courts to order the installation of a "speed inhibiting device" on a vehicle as an alternative to license suspension or revocation for certain excessive speeding violations, points accumulation, or for minors with an initial excessive speeding offense. A speed inhibiting device is defined as a system that determines the posted speed limit and prevents the vehicle from exceeding it. The person operating the vehicle is responsible for the cost of installation and maintenance, and the device manufacturer must provide proof of installation and ongoing compliance to the Department of Transportation (DOT). Failure to comply will result in license suspension. The DOT will establish rules for certifying these devices, including requirements for manufacturers, reliability, and reporting. The bill also amends existing laws to include references to speed inhibiting devices in notices of license restrictions, vehicle impoundment provisions for driving without a required device, and procedures for releasing impounded vehicles. It also clarifies that manufacturers, distributors, or retailers are generally not liable for issues arising from the installation or use of these devices.
