The STEER Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 amends the Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility (STEER) Amendment Act of 2024 to clarify the applicability of its provisions concerning the District's Intelligent Speed Assistance Program. Specifically, it modifies Section 8(d) to establish that the Ignition Interlock System Program will be effective starting January 1, 2027, while the Intelligent Speed Assistance Program will take effect immediately upon the enactment of this temporary amendment. Other sections of the STEER Act will also apply starting January 1, 2027.
The resolution includes a fiscal impact statement adopted from the Budget Director and outlines the process for the act's effectiveness, which requires approval from the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period. The act is set to expire 225 days after it takes effect, ensuring that the modifications are temporary and subject to further legislative review.
