Summary of Bill HR 2110
The bill establishes a process for survivors to submit a request to the vehicle manufacturer or service provider to terminate or disable these connected services. The request must include evidence of abuse, such as a protection order or police report, to ensure that the request is legitimate and necessary for the survivor's safety.
In addition to providing survivors with a way to protect themselves from technological abuse, the bill also includes provisions for training law enforcement officers and other relevant professionals on how to recognize and respond to cases of technology-facilitated abuse. This will help ensure that survivors receive the support and assistance they need to escape from abusive situations and rebuild their lives. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2110 is a crucial step towards addressing the intersection of technology and domestic violence, and providing survivors with the tools they need to protect themselves and regain control of their lives.
Congressional Summary of HR 2110
Safe Vehicle Access for Survivors Act
This bill requires providers of connected vehicle services, upon the request of a domestic violence survivor, to terminate or disable an identified domestic abuser’s access to a vehicle’s connected capabilities and data.
Specifically, within two business days of receiving a request from a survivor, a covered provider must, if technically feasible (1) terminate or disable the connected vehicle account associated with the identified abuser or the relevant vehicle, or the vehicle’s connected capabilities; or (2) instruct the survivor on how to terminate or disable connected services directly.
Covered providers may not make the termination of connected vehicle services or accounts contingent on any requirement other than the provision of specified information by the survivor. For example, a provider may not require a survivor to pay a fee or extend their contract with the provider.
Under the bill, an abuser is an individual identified by a survivor who committed or allegedly committed certain acts against the survivor, including domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking. A survivor is an adult against whom such an act was committed. Further, a covered provider is a vehicle manufacturer, affiliate, or entity acting on behalf of a manufacturer that provides a connected vehicle service. Connected vehicle service is any capability that enables a person to remotely access data from or send commands to a vehicle.
Finally, the Federal Communications Commission must prescribe regulations governing how covered providers address survivors’ requests related to connected vehicles.
