Bill > SB1927

This bill, known as the "Super Speeder Accountability Act," mandates the installation of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) devices on vehicles operated by individuals convicted of certain speed-related offenses, aiming to improve road safety by deterring excessive speeding. An ISA device is defined as an aftermarket system that uses location technology to limit a vehicle's speed to posted limits and is tamper-resistant. The bill establishes a licensing system for ISA device providers, requiring them to meet specific standards and undergo a departmental review process, with provisions for temporary suspension or permanent revocation of licenses for violations. It also outlines procedures for the removal of these devices once compliance is achieved, including a compliance-based process and administrative review for disputed noncompliance. Furthermore, the bill addresses the cost of ISA devices, allowing indigent users to apply for assistance from an electronic monitoring indigency fund, and clarifies liability for vehicle manufacturers and dealers regarding these devices. The act will take effect on January 1, 2027, for violations occurring on or after that date, with provisions for rule promulgation to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
