HB 2417 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

excessive speed; speed inhibiting device

HB 2417 allows courts to order drivers convicted of specific speeding offenses to install a speed-limiting device on their vehicle instead of facing license suspension. It applies to first-time excessive speeding convictions, drivers accumulating points requiring a one-year suspension, second speeding offenses within 24 months, and minors' first speeding offense. Drivers must pay for installation and maintenance, and device providers must electronically verify compliance (including no tampering) to the state. Failure to maintain the device results in license suspension and a class 1 misdemeanor charge.

MODERATE

This bill introduces a new legal framework requiring the installation of speed inhibiting devices (ISDs) for drivers whose licenses are suspended due to excessive speeding. It significantly expands the program by adding new eligibility criteria, such as first-time speeding convictions and excessive points accumulation, while removing the previous requirement for a prior photo enforcement violation. The legislation also establishes strict rules for device certification, data privacy, and liability, and extends the bill's effective date to June 30, 2027.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from a limited program targeting photo enforcement violators to a broader initiative covering various speeding offenses, including first-time violations and excessive points accumulation. It also added specific exemptions for commercial vehicles, fleet vehicles, and employer-owned vehicles.

ELIGIBILITY

Removed the requirement that the license suspension must result from a photo enforcement violation; now applies to first-time speeding convictions, excessive points accumulation, and minors' first excessive speeding offenses.

Added detailed requirements for the Department of Transportation to certify ISDs, including manufacturer liability insurance, indemnification, and specific technical standards for the devices.

DEFINITION

Established that operating a vehicle without a functioning ISD is a class 1 misdemeanor and authorized the department to immediately suspend licenses upon notification of non-compliance.

EXEMPTIONS

Added exemptions for commercial vehicles, fleet vehicles, employer-owned vehicles, and motorcycles/off-highway vehicles from the ISD requirement.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date of the act from an unspecified time to June 30, 2027.

TECHNICAL

Added provisions limiting data collection to necessary compliance data, prohibiting commercial use of data, and establishing civil penalties for lienholders who fail to notify customers about ISD requirements.
