Intelligent speed assistance program established, revocation period for certain speeding offenses extended, speed-controlled license restriction created, rulemaking required, and money appropriated.
HF 3429 creates a new "speed-controlled license restriction" for drivers convicted of three or more speeding violations within 12 months. It requires drivers with this restriction to install and maintain an intelligent speed assistance device (a speed-limit monitoring technology) in their vehicles. Driving without this certified device while under the restriction would be a gross misdemeanor. The bill also extends license revocation periods for specific speeding offenses, such as exceeding 100 mph or 20+ mph over posted limits in school/work zones. These changes take effect January 1, 2027, and require new rules and funding.
