# Sen Floor Amend 1 AM 39 0459 to HB 308

ADOPTED
Senators Kirkpatrick of the 32nd, Anderson of the 24th, Brass of the 6th, Robertson of the
29th, Esteves of the 35th, and others offered the following amendment #1:
Amend HB 308 (LC 39 4652S) by replacing line 8 with the following:
to provide a sentencing court with authority to order the installation of a device which limits
the speed of a motor vehicle as part of the punishment for conviction of the offense of
reckless stunt driving; to provide for procedures and conditions upon issuance of such orders;
to provide for notification to the Department of Revenue; to provide for a penalty; to revise
and provide for definitions; to provide that fingerprints shall not be obtained for offenses
relating to operation of a motor vehicle with unauthorized levels of window or windshield
tinting or unlawful installation of such; to amend Code Section 48-5-473 of the Official Code
By replacing "such vehicles" with "miniature on-road vehicles" on line 11.
By inserting the following between lines 200 and 201:
Said title is further amended in Code Section 40-6-390.1, relating to reckless stunt driving,
by adding a new subsection to read as follows:
<ins>"(b.1)(1) As used in this subsection, the term 'intelligent speed assistance device' means
a device designed to be installed within a motor vehicle to actively monitor and prevent
the operator from exceeding a preset speed. Such term shall not include any technology
provided by the motor vehicle manufacturer as a component of a motor vehicle that
controls or affects the speed of a motor vehicle.
(2) Upon conviction of a violation of this Code section and in addition to the punishment
provided for in subsection (a) of this Code section, a court shall be authorized to order
the installation of an intelligent speed assistance device upon the motor vehicle operated
by the offender during such violation when the offender is the registered owner of such
</ins>
<ins>motor vehicle as shown in the records of the Department of Revenue. Such order shall
set the maximum speed limit for an intelligent speed assistance device installed upon a
motor vehicle at a speed limit of no greater than 20 percent above the posted speed limit.
An intelligent speed assistance device shall be installed within ten days of the issuance
of such order and remain on the vehicle for a period of time ordered by the court which
shall be no less than six months. The costs relating to the installation of an intelligent
speed assistance device upon a motor vehicle and any monitoring thereof shall be borne
by the offender. Any court which orders an intelligent speed assistance device to be
placed upon a motor vehicle pursuant to this subsection shall provide the Department of
Revenue with a copy of such order. The records of the Department of Revenue shall
contain a record reflecting that the motor vehicle shall only be operated when equipped
with a functioning intelligent speed assistance device. The operation of a motor vehicle
without an intelligent speed assistance device for which an order for installation of an
intelligent speed assistance device has been issued pursuant to this subsection by the
offender issued such order shall be punished as for a misdemeanor."
</ins> SECTION 11.
Said title is further amended in Code Section 40-8-73.1, relating to tinting of windows or
windshields of motor vehicles, by revising subsection (h) as follows:
"(h) Any person who violates subsection (b) or (e) of this Code section shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor; <ins>provided, however, that no fingerprints shall be obtained for a violation
of this Code section."
</ins> SECTION 12.
By renumbering the remaining sections of the bill accordingly.
