Committee backs pilot program using intelligent speed-assistance for drivers facing suspension
Summary
Senate Bill 366, as amended, creates an intelligent speed-assistance pilot administered by the Motor Vehicle Administration for drivers who have accumulated speeding points that would otherwise lead to suspension or revocation; the committee delayed implementation and extended the pilot's duration before passing the bill.
The committee approved Senate Bill 366, establishing an intelligent speed-assistance pilot program administered by the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) for drivers who have accumulated speeding points sufficient to risk license suspension or revocation.
Chair Lewis described the program's basics: individuals would generally participate for one year; amendments adopted in committee delayed implementation, extended the pilot's duration by one year, clarified applicable violations and waiting periods for reentry, and added specificity to reporting requirements. After discussion, the committee adopted the subcommittee amendments and passed the bill as amended.
The legislation's reporting and program-entry clarifications were a focus of the amendments; the clerk recorded the passage with several delegates recorded in opposition on the roll calls during the meeting.
