Traffic Safety - As introduced, enacts the "Super Speeder Accountability Act," which requires intelligent speed assistance devices to be installed on motor vehicles operated by persons convicted of certain driving offenses where speed was a factor; creates a licensing system for device providers; requires compliance-based device removal; authorizes indigent users to apply for assistance from the electronic monitoring indigency fund; makes other revisions. - Amends TCA Title 55.
SB 1927, the "Super Speeder Accountability Act," requires intelligent speed assistance (ISA) devices on vehicles for drivers convicted of specific speeding offenses where speed was a factor, such as multiple reckless driving convictions within 12 months or drag racing. The bill mandates these tamper-resistant devices - which limit vehicle speed to posted limits using location-based technology - be installed for offenders with license suspensions or revocations due to excessive speeding. It creates a licensing system for device providers, allows compliance-based removal of devices, and permits indigent users to apply for financial assistance through the electronic monitoring indigency fund. The law aims to improve road safety by preventing repeat speeding violations through technology rather than traditional penalties like fines or license suspension.
