Bill Summary

AN ACT IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA To amend, on an emergency basis, the Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility (“STEER”) Amendment Act of 2024 to modify its applicability clause to correctly reflect its funding status with respect to the District’s Intelligent Speed Assistance Program.

AI Summary

This bill, the STEER Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2026, makes an emergency change to the Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility (“STEER”) Amendment Act of 2024 to clarify when certain provisions of that law will take effect, specifically concerning the funding of the District’s Intelligent Speed Assistance Program, which is a system designed to help drivers adhere to speed limits. The bill amends Section 8(d) of the original STEER Act to state that the Ignition Interlock Device provisions will apply starting January 1, 2027, while other provisions, including those related to the Intelligent Speed Assistance Program, will apply as of the date this emergency amendment becomes law. This clarification is necessary to ensure the STEER Act's provisions accurately reflect the program's funding status and implementation timeline.
