Bill > HR2110

This bill establishes a comprehensive process for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking to request the termination or disabling of connected vehicle services that might be misused by their abusers. The legislation defines key terms like "connected vehicle service" (remote capabilities provided by vehicle manufacturers that allow data retrieval or command sending) and "survivor" (an individual 18 or older against whom a covered act has been committed). Under the bill, survivors can request to terminate an abuser's access to connected vehicle services by providing specific documentation, such as proof of vehicle ownership or a court order. Covered providers (vehicle manufacturers or their affiliates) must respond within two business days by either disabling the abuser's account, resetting vehicle data connections, or providing instructions on how to re-establish services safely. The bill mandates confidential handling of survivor information, prohibits providers from charging fees for these actions, and requires providers to notify survivors before informing abusers about service changes. Additionally, the Federal Communications Commission is tasked with developing implementation regulations within two years, focusing on swift account revocation, confidentiality, and data protection. The legislation aims to prevent technological abuse by giving survivors more control over vehicle-related digital services and protecting their safety.
