Motor Vehicles - Intelligent Speed Assistance System Pilot Program - Establishment

SB 993 establishes a pilot program requiring certain drivers with accumulated license points (from specific traffic violations like speeding or reckless driving) to use an intelligent speed assistance system - a technology that helps maintain speed limits - to regain driving privileges. Participants must complete the program, which involves installing and using this system, or face continued license suspension. The Motor Vehicle Administration will issue restricted licenses mandating this technology for participants, and failure to comply will result in license suspension. This bill directly affects drivers suspended for violations listed under Maryland’s traffic code sections 16-402(a)(3), (17), (24), (27), (33), or (45).
