Overview
- Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said Wednesday that a Stop Super Speeders provision will be included in the final state budget for New York.
- The policy targets New York City vehicles with 16 or more speed-camera tickets in 12 months and would require Intelligent Speed Assistance devices that use GPS to match the local speed limit.
- Lawmakers removed a proposed misdemeanor for failing to install the device and opted for escalating civil fines that can lead to registration revocation.
- Vehicle owners would pay about $150 for installation plus a $4 per day subscription, with payment plans for people who cannot afford the cost, according to Heastie and industry backers.
- Key details are still being negotiated, including privacy protections, due process, payment rules, and program administration, after closed-door talks within the New York City Assembly delegation.
