AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Super Speeder Accountability Act," mandates that individuals who have committed certain serious speeding violations, including driving 100 miles per hour or more or accumulating multiple moving violations where they were significantly over the speed limit, or whose licenses have been suspended or revoked due to such offenses, must obtain a special "intelligent speed assistance restricted operator's license" or "certificate." This restricted license or certificate allows them to operate a motor vehicle only if it is equipped with an "intelligent speed assistance device," which is an aftermarket device that uses GPS to limit the vehicle's speed to posted limits, and is approved by the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles. The bill also outlines the application process, fees, renewal requirements, and penalties for tampering with these devices, and specifies that the Commissioner will adopt rules to ensure the devices' accuracy and data retrieval, with provisions for reduced costs for low-income individuals and protections for the privacy of collected data.
