Driver Data Control Act of 2024
HR 7117, the Driver Data Control Act of 2024, limits access to data from vehicle safety recorders (EDRs) to protect owners' privacy. It requires federal law enforcement to obtain a warrant, court order (with 48-hour owner notice), or use data solely for emergency medical care in crashes. The bill prohibits insurers, lienholders, and lessors from accessing EDR data without written owner consent, banning conditions that tie insurance claims, payments, or lease agreements to data access. This directly affects vehicle owners, law enforcement, and insurance/leasing companies by establishing clear consent rules and restricting data use.
