Establishes the offense of unlawful tracking of a motor vehicle

HB 978 makes it a crime to secretly install or place a tracking device on a motor vehicle without the consent of all vehicle owners, specifically to monitor or follow occupants. This directly affects individuals who install trackers without permission (e.g., stalkers, unauthorized monitors), while exempting law enforcement during investigations, parents monitoring minor children in their vehicle, lienholders repossessing vehicles, rental companies, and private investigators with consent. Key provisions require consent from all owners for tracking and define exceptions for legitimate uses like vehicle recovery or parental safety. Violations are punishable as a class B misdemeanor. The bill aims to prevent unauthorized surveillance while clarifying legal exceptions for common scenarios.
