This law defines terms related to connected vehicle services. An 'account holder' is someone using connected vehicle services under a contract, like a subscriber or customer. 'Connected vehicle location access' lets people track a vehicle's location using GPS or similar technology, excluding the service providers themselves. 'Connected vehicle service' is a feature from car manufacturers allowing remote access to vehicle data or commands via an app. A 'connected vehicle service account' is how someone signs up for these services. A 'connected vehicle service request' is when a driver asks to end someone else's access to the service. Lastly, a 'covered provider' is the car maker or their representative offering these services.

This law requires that vehicles with connected services must alert people inside the vehicle if someone from outside the vehicle accesses the vehicle's connected services or location tracking. This rule will be effective starting January 1, 2028.

This law says that if any part of this chapter is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the chapter remains in effect. It ensures that the valid parts can still be used and applied even if one part is struck down.

This law doesn't apply to rental cars.
