The proposed bill would update current statutes by introducing new provisions regarding the installation and management of speed inhibiting devices for individuals with suspended driving privileges due to specific violations. Under the new law, courts would have the authority to order the installation of these devices instead of suspension, provided the individual requests it. Key updates include requirements for proof of installation, certification of devices, and the establishment of administrative rules for compliance and penalties. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) would oversee the enforcement of these requirements, including the authority to charge fees for installation and maintenance, and to reject non-compliant proof of installation.

Additionally, the bill would prohibit renting or lending vehicles to individuals with limited driving privileges unless equipped with a functioning speed inhibiting device. It clarifies the liability of manufacturers and introduces strict regulations on data collection related to these devices. The bill also specifies exemptions for certain vehicles and outlines penalties for noncompliance, including potential misdemeanor charges for operating a vehicle without the device. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance road safety and accountability while providing an alternative to license suspension for excessive speeding offenses.
