Summary

The bill would launch a pilot program in Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, Sacramento and Kern counties, directing courts to order convicted drivers of certain speeding or reckless‑driving violations to equip any vehicle they operate with a certified active intelligent speed‑assist (ISA) device for a prescribed period. Fees would be income‑based, the DMV would monitor installation and maintenance, and the program’s results would be reported to the state transportation agency with a legislative review by 2031.
