Bill > HB1992

This bill establishes a new criminal offense in Missouri called "unlawful tracking of a motor vehicle," which makes it illegal to install an electronic tracking device on a motor vehicle without the consent of all vehicle owners, with the intent of monitoring or following the vehicle's occupants. The bill provides several specific exceptions to this offense, including tracking by law enforcement during a criminal investigation, tracking by a parent or legal guardian of a minor child's vehicle, tracking stolen goods or a stolen vehicle, tracking a vulnerable adult's vehicle by a legal representative, tracking with consent from all vehicle owners, tracking by vehicle rental/sharing companies, tracking by lienholders for vehicle repossession, and tracking for voluntary usage-based insurance programs. The bill defines a "vulnerable adult" as a person 18 or older who is impaired and lacks sufficient capacity to make reasonable decisions about their well-being. The penalties for this offense are structured as a class A misdemeanor for a first offense and a class E felony for subsequent offenses, with explicit exclusions for tracking systems installed by vehicle manufacturers.
