AN ACT REGULATING THE OPERATION OF GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS AND NAVIGATION APPLICATIONS IN THE STATE.
HB 6709 prohibits navigation app operators (like Google Maps or Waze) from routing heavy trucks onto narrow local roads that can't safely handle such traffic. It also requires these apps to display height restrictions for bridges to prevent truck collisions. The bill directly affects companies that develop or operate navigation applications used in the state. Its goal is to reduce strain on local roads and prevent bridge crashes by mandating safer routing practices. The legislation applies to all GPS systems and navigation apps providing route guidance within the state.
