Bill > S0258

This bill, titled the "Super Speeder Accountability Act," mandates that individuals convicted of certain speeding violations, including driving 100 miles per hour or more, or whose licenses are suspended or revoked for speeding and other violations, must obtain a special "intelligent speed assistance restricted operator's license" or "certificate." This restricted license or certificate allows them to operate only vehicles equipped with an "intelligent speed assistance device," which is an aftermarket device approved by the Commissioner that uses GPS to limit a vehicle's speed to posted limits, excluding manufacturer-installed systems. The bill outlines the application process, including a $125 fee and proof of device installation and financial responsibility, and specifies that the individual is responsible for all costs associated with the device. It also prohibits tampering with these devices and outlines penalties for violations, including extensions of suspension periods. Furthermore, the bill requires the Commissioner to adopt rules for device performance standards, calibration, data retrieval, and establishes a 50 percent cost reduction for installing these devices for individuals receiving certain public benefits. The bill also amends existing law to mandate specific suspension periods for driving 100 miles per hour or more, ranging from six months for a first offense to two years for a third or subsequent offense, and will take effect on July 1, 2026.
