HB 1984 requires vehicles with remote access features (like location tracking or control apps) to alert occupants when someone outside the vehicle accesses these functions. It mandates that vehicle manufacturers provide a clear, visible website link titled "HOW TO DISCONNECT REMOTE VEHICLE ACCESS" to help survivors terminate abusers' remote access and obtain new accounts. The law applies to personal vehicles but excludes rental cars, and it protects manufacturers from liability for following these requirements. This bill directly affects domestic violence survivors who share vehicle access with abusers and vehicle manufacturers providing connected services.
