Bill > HB05162

This bill addresses motor vehicle data privacy for individuals experiencing potential domestic violence by requiring motor vehicle manufacturers to provide a process for terminating remote vehicle technology access. Specifically, manufacturers must offer free termination of remote vehicle technology access when a driver provides either (1) proof of legal vehicle possession and exclusive use rights or (2) a valid restraining order against the person whose access is to be restricted. Additionally, manufacturers must create an efficient and secure online system for processing these termination requests and must include an indicator on each vehicle that shows whether remote vehicle technology is currently in use. The key goal is to protect individuals who may be experiencing domestic violence or stalking by giving them a clear mechanism to prevent unauthorized tracking or monitoring of their vehicle through remote technology features. This legislation aims to provide a safety measure for vulnerable vehicle owners by giving them more control over who can access their vehicle's technological systems.
