          read once and referred to the Committee on Transportation

        AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in  relation  to  mandating

     3    58. (a) As used in  this  subdivision,  the  term  "intelligent  speed
     4  assistance  system"  shall mean an integrated vehicle system that deter-
     5  mines the speed limit of the roadway that the vehicle  is  traveling  on
     6  and, when the vehicle begins moving in excess of ten miles per hour over
     7  such speed limit, alerts the driver in a manner which shall include, but
     8  not be limited to, a brief, one-time visual and audio signal.
     9    (b)  Every  motor vehicle registered in this state and manufactured or
    10  assembled on or after January first, two thousand twenty-nine  shall  be
    11  equipped with an intelligent speed assistance system; provided, however,
    12  this subdivision shall not apply to:
    13    (i)  a  motor  vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than
    14  eighty-five hundred pounds which a federal motor vehicle safety standard
    15  of any kind or character exists requiring either the passive  or  active
    16  control of speed;
    17    (ii) a motorcycle;
    18    (iii) a bicycle with electric assist;
    19    (iv)  a motor vehicle which is not equipped with either a global posi-
    20  tioning system or a front-facing camera; or
    21    (v) an authorized emergency vehicle.
    22    (c) If an intelligent speed  assistance  system  receives  conflicting
    23  speed  limits  for  the  same  area, the system shall utilize the higher
    24  speed limit.
    25    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
