House Bill 1883, known as the "Super Speeder Accountability Act," aims to improve highway safety in Tennessee by requiring certain speeding offenders to use Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) devices. The bill introduces a new section in the Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 55, Chapter 10, which defines "excessive speeding" and outlines the criteria for offenders mandated to use ISA devices, particularly those with multiple speeding violations or reckless driving convictions. The legislation emphasizes the role of ISA devices in preventing repeat offenses and promoting safer driving habits while allowing offenders to maintain their driving privileges under specific conditions.

The bill stipulates that offenders must install and use ISA devices for a designated period, with costs typically borne by the offenders unless they qualify for assistance. The Department of Safety will oversee the program, ensuring compliance and monitoring installations. It includes penalties for noncompliance, such as extending the usage period for those who tamper with the devices. Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to incorporate ISA devices into the definitions for monitoring devices and allows nonresidents to request waivers for installation through their home states. The act mandates annual reporting on compliance rates and authorizes the department to create rules for implementation, with certain provisions taking effect on January 1, 2027.
