Establishes the Super Speeder Accountability Act to be used as a sentencing option or enhancement for drivers charged with certain driving violations.

Plain-English Summary: Super Speeder Accountability Act

This bill would create a new law in Rhode Island called the "Super Speeder Accountability Act," which would give judges additional tools when sentencing drivers who are caught committing serious speeding or certain other driving violations. Essentially, it would establish a way to increase or add to the punishment for drivers who are caught driving at especially dangerous speeds, going beyond the standard penalties that already exist for typical speeding tickets.

The bill would primarily affect drivers in Rhode Island who are charged with specific, serious driving violations — particularly those involving excessive speeding. For these drivers, a judge could either use the new law as a standalone sentencing option or stack it on top of existing penalties as an "enhancement," meaning the consequences could be more severe than they would be under current law alone.

At this point, the bill is still in its early stages. It was introduced in the Rhode Island Senate and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has recommended holding it for further study rather than moving it forward right now. A hearing is scheduled for March 31, 2026. Because the bill's full details are still being reviewed, the exact speed thresholds, specific violations covered, and precise penalties have not yet been finalized or made public in this summary.
