The bill aims to enhance road safety in Washington by addressing speeding and the use of intelligent speed assistance devices (ISADs). It defines "excessive speeding" and mandates that drivers convicted of certain offenses operate vehicles equipped with functioning ISADs, outlining installation conditions, driver responsibilities, and associated costs. The legislation also specifies penalties for tampering with these devices and establishes a revolving account to manage fees collected from users. Additionally, it amends existing laws to incorporate ISADs as a condition of probation for traffic-related offenses, while ensuring the confidentiality of data generated by these devices.

Moreover, the bill revises eligibility requirements for obtaining occupational or temporary restricted driver's licenses, prohibiting applicants with recent vehicular homicide or assault convictions and requiring participation in 12-step programs for those undergoing substance abuse treatment. It mandates the use of ISADs for certain licenses and outlines consequences for reckless driving, including ignition interlock device installation for repeat offenders. The bill also introduces provisions for managing treasury income accounts and establishes new sections within chapter 46.20 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), with an effective date of January 1, 2029.
