AN ACT CONCERNING MOTOR VEHICLE DATA PRIVACY.

HB 5163 (2025) requires motor vehicle manufacturers and in-vehicle technology platforms to obtain a vehicle owner's explicit consent before collecting or selling data about the vehicle's operation, such as location, speed, or driving habits. This directly affects vehicle owners, who gain control over their data, and manufacturers/platforms, which must change data practices to comply. The key provision mandates "express consent" as a condition for any data collection or sale, removing current practices that allowed automatic or implied consent. The bill focuses solely on establishing this consent requirement without specifying enforcement or penalties.
