SF3691

Purpose

To enhance road safety by using intelligent speed assistance technology, tighten penalties for extreme speeding, and add a speed-related license restriction. The bill also requires rulemaking and provides funding to implement the program.

Main Provisions

• Establish an intelligent speed assistance (ISA) program to help drivers comply with posted speed limits.
• Create a speed-controlled license restriction that would attach specific speed-related conditions to a driver’s license.
• Extend the license revocation period for extreme speeding: a driver who drives in excess of 100 miles per hour would have their license revoked for six months, with possible longer revocation under existing law.
• Require rulemaking to implement the ISA program, the speed-controlled license restriction, and related processes.
• Appropriate money to support the development, implementation, and administration of the program.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• Amends Minnesota Statutes 2024 section 169.14, subdivision 1a to set six-month license revocation for driving over 100 mph, with revocation subject to other minimums/longer periods under current law (e.g., 171.17, 169A.53, 169A.54).
• Adds or modifies provisions in related statutes (including sections under Minnesota Statutes chapters 171 and 171.24 and related subsections) to establish the speed-controlled license restriction and the ISA program.
• Creates a framework for rulemaking and funding to implement these new requirements.
