The STEER Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend the Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility (STEER) Amendment Act of 2024 by modifying its applicability clause to accurately reflect the funding status of the District's Intelligent Speed Assistance Program. Specifically, the bill updates Section 8(d) to clarify that the Intelligent Speed Assistance Program will be applicable as of the effective date of the STEER Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2026, while the Ignition Interlock Device provisions will apply starting January 1, 2027.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that certain sections of the STEER Amendment Act, specifically Sections 4(d) and (f), 5, and 6, will also take effect on January 1, 2027. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the emergency act provisions outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
