This bill prohibits the installation or use of electronic mobile tracking devices in motor vehicles without the consent of the vehicle's operator and occupants, except in certain circumstances. The key provisions include: 1. The term "electronic mobile tracking device" is defined as a device that tracks and reveals the location of the device and transmits the location to a mobile phone or computer. 2. Installing, concealing, or otherwise placing such a device in a vehicle without the consent of the operator and occupants is considered criminal harassment, punishable under the existing law. 3. Exceptions are made for law enforcement use in criminal investigations, for parents or legal guardians monitoring their minor children, for locating stolen vehicles, and for businesses tracking vehicles they own or lease. 4. The law does not apply to electronic or telematic systems installed by the vehicle manufacturer or used by car rental businesses or insurance companies with the owner's or lessee's permission.
