STEER Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2026
This bill temporarily amends the 2024 STEER Act to correct a reference in its funding clause for the District's Intelligent Speed Assistance Program. It modifies Section 8(d) to specify that the program's applicability date aligns with the effective date of this clarification act (February 3, 2026), rather than the original schedule. The amendment applies only to the Intelligent Speed Assistance Program established under the Traffic Act, not to other provisions of the STEER Act. The bill is temporary, expiring 225 days after its effective date. It does not change program requirements or funding levels - only clarifies the implementation timeline.
