Safe Vehicle Access for Survivors Act

Impact

If enacted, the bill mandates that providers of connected vehicle services must respond to requests from survivors within two business days. This includes termination of services linked to the abuser or the shared vehicle. Furthermore, it emphasizes confidentiality, requiring service providers to treat any information from survivors securely and to protect it from unauthorized sharing. In order to comply, the bill also prohibits providers from imposing fees or requiring additional terms as a condition for fulfilling a survivor's request, thus aiming to eliminate practical barriers to accessing safety measures.

Summary

House Bill 2110, titled the 'Safe Vehicle Access for Survivors Act,' aims to protect survivors of abuse by allowing them to disable connected vehicle services that are potentially misused by their abusers. This legislation is particularly focused on enabling survivors to take swift action in response to violations or threats posed by their abusers in relation to vehicle access. The bill outlines a process for survivors to request the termination or disabling of such services, ensuring their security and privacy by restricting the abuser's access to the vehicle's connected systems.

Contention

The bill's provisions could impact the existing liability constraints on service providers, as they would not be held liable for claims related to their compliance with the requests made under this Act. Additionally, the legislation asserts that no other laws at the state or local level can contradict the terms outlined within this bill regarding connected vehicle services. This centralization of authority could raise concerns amongst advocacy groups about the adequacy of the protections offered to survivors and how these regulations will be implemented effectively, considering potential gaps in service provider capabilities.
