Super Speeders: State Senate leaders include speed-limiter device bill in budget proposal, but Assembly does not | amNewYork

"The Senate modifies the Executive proposal to authorize NYC to establish a pilot program requiring drivers with certain speeding or speed camera violations to install a speed restrictor in their vehicles by replacing it with similar bill language from S.4045-C, the Senate's budget resolution reads."

"Gounardes, in a statement, said his bill does something simple to combat reckless speeding: slow those drivers down. I wrote the law to ensure real accountability for the most dangerous drivers, he said. It applies to a small percentage of all vehicles on our streets, but it will have an outsized impact on safety."

"Speed-limiting devices known as intelligent speed assistance, or ISA, technology would be installed in the cars of drivers who have 16 or more speed camera tickets in a year, or who accumulate 11 or more points on their license within 18 months."

New York's Democratic state Senate incorporated the Stop Super Speeders Act into their fiscal year 2027 budget proposal, requiring installation of intelligent speed assistance (ISA) technology in vehicles of drivers with severe speeding violations. The measure targets drivers accumulating 16 or more speed camera tickets annually or 11 or more license points within 18 months. The proposal authorizes New York City to establish a pilot program implementing these requirements. State Senator Andrew Gounardes, the bill's sponsor, emphasizes the measure ensures accountability for dangerous drivers while affecting only a small percentage of vehicles. Assembly Democratic leadership did not include the bill in their budget proposal, though Assembly Member Emily Gallagher expressed encouragement about the Senate's inclusion.
