HB 1984 requires vehicle manufacturers to notify drivers when someone outside the vehicle accesses connected vehicle features (like location tracking or remote controls). It mandates that manufacturers provide a clear, visible "HOW TO DISCONNECT REMOTE VEHICLE ACCESS" link on their websites to help abuse survivors end unauthorized access. The law directly affects domestic violence survivors who share vehicle ownership or app access with abusers, particularly those using app-connected vehicles. It excludes rental vehicles and protects manufacturers from liability for following the law.
