Bill > SB2696

This bill mandates that starting with the 2030 model year, all new passenger vehicles sold or leased in the state must be equipped with a "passive intelligent speed assistance system," which is a system that alerts the driver with a brief visual and audio signal when they exceed the speed limit by more than ten miles per hour, with exceptions for authorized emergency vehicles and motorcycles. Additionally, beginning July 1, 2030, it will be a misdemeanor to knowingly tamper with or circumvent an "active intelligent speed assistance system," which is defined as a system that limits a vehicle's speed based on the applicable speed limit. The Department of Transportation will be responsible for selecting a single vendor to install and maintain these active systems, and courts will be empowered to require the installation of active intelligent speed assistance systems as an additional penalty for repeat offenders of certain traffic violations, including excessive speeding and racing, and as part of license suspensions or revocations.
