SB 366 Maryland Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Motor Vehicles - Intelligent Speed Assistance System Pilot Program - Establishment

SB 366 establishes a pilot program requiring drivers facing license suspension for specific speeding violations (listed in § 16-402(A)(3), (17), (24), (27), (33), or (45)) to use an intelligent speed assistance system (a device that alerts drivers when exceeding speed limits). The Motor Vehicle Administration would issue restrictive licenses mandating this system for participants, who must complete the 1-year program. Failure to participate or complete the program results in license suspension. The bill creates new requirements for certified service providers to install and monitor the systems, and it amends existing law to allow this restriction.

MODERATE

The bill was finalized as an enrolled version, changing the header to indicate it has passed both chambers and is ready for the Governor's signature. Substantive policy changes include adding a requirement for the District Court to manage specific fine schedules and expanding the definition of an 'Approved Service Provider' to include manufacturers. Additionally, the regulations for service providers were updated to require 'calibration and tuning' capabilities, and the definition of an 'Intelligent Speed Assistance System' was clarified to specify that it must actively prevent a vehicle from exceeding speed limits.

The bill's scope expanded to include a new enforcement mechanism involving the District Court for managing fine schedules, and the program's operational requirements were broadened to include manufacturers as certified service providers.
