NH HB1686

Establishes an "Intelligent Speed Assistance Program" administered by the Department of Safety, requiring drivers convicted of exceeding 100 mph or certified as habitual offenders to install GPS-based devices that limit speed or alert drivers when exceeding posted limits

Courts must order ISA device installation for 6 months to 2 years for drivers convicted of traveling 100+ mph, as a condition of probation or alternative to license suspension

Offenders bear all costs for device purchase, installation, and maintenance, with the Department of Safety responsible for approving manufacturers and installation providers

Tampering with, disabling, or circumventing an ISA device constitutes a misdemeanor with potential additional penalties including license suspension; violations may also be prosecuted as contempt of court

Estimated fiscal impact includes $336,000+ in FY 2027, $221,000+ in FY 2028, and $231,000+ in FY 2029 for Department of Safety system development and staffing; effective date is January 1, 2027
