AI Summary
This bill establishes a statewide program for the certification and monitoring of "active intelligent speed assistance systems" (an aftermarket device that prevents a vehicle from exceeding the speed limit without using the brakes), requiring the Department of Transportation to select a single vendor for their installation and maintenance. It also limits the civil liability of vehicle manufacturers, distributors, and retailers for these systems, unless they intentionally cause harm through repairs or updates, and makes it a misdemeanor to tamper with or circumvent such a system, with the intent to evade speed laws. Furthermore, courts will be allowed to impose the installation of these systems as an additional penalty for repeat traffic offenders, including those with multiple excessive speeding or racing convictions, potentially as part of license suspensions or revocations, and the bill outlines specific conditions and permits related to these installations.
