THE TEXT

“The term does not include technology that is provided by a motor vehicle manufacturer as a component of a new motor vehicle and that controls or affects the speed of a motor vehicle.”

Bill text, introduced version (I)

The definition drops factory-installed speed-limiting technology. That means the ban on government requiring a person to use a speed limiter does not cover speed limiters built into new cars. Add-on devices remain covered, so the hole is partial.

Summary

The bill bars any Texas government body from requiring a person to install or use an intelligent speed assistance device on a motor vehicle, for any reason.

The bill bars any Texas government body from requiring a person to install or use an intelligent speed assistance device on a motor vehicle, for any reason. It covers drivers and any state or local agency, court or other governmental entity that might impose such a device. Speed-limiting technology that a manufacturer builds into a new vehicle is left out of the definition, so the ban reaches add-on location-based speed limiters, not factory equipment.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Chapter 750, Transportation Code, is amended by

adding Section 750.004 to read as follows:

Sec. 750.004. REQUIRED INSTALLATION OR USE OF INTELLIGENT

SPEED ASSISTANCE DEVICE PROHIBITED. (a) In this section,

"intelligent speed assistance device" means a device that uses

location-based technology to actively limit a motor vehicle's speed

technology that is provided by a motor vehicle manufacturer as a

component of a new motor vehicle and that controls or affects the

speed of a motor vehicle.

(b) Notwithstanding any other law, a governmental entity in

this state may not require a person to install or use an intelligent

speed assistance device on a motor vehicle for any reason.

SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives

provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this

Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this

Act takes effect September 1, 2027.
