Requires disclosure of data recording devices in motor vehicles; limits access to recorded data.
This bill requires vehicle manufacturers to disclose in the owner's manual when a car has a data recording device (like an event data recorder). It gives vehicle owners control over access to recorded data - such as speed, location, and crash information - and restricts others from accessing it without consent, except in specific cases like emergencies, repairs, court orders, or safety research. Insurers cannot penalize owners for refusing to share this data, and the bill prohibits altering crash data after serious incidents. It directly affects vehicle owners, manufacturers, insurers, and emergency responders.
