Overview: HB 6628 - AN ACT PROHIBITING GOVERNMENT ENTITIES FROM TRACKING PASSENGER MOTOR VEHICLES
Status: REF. TO JOINT COMM. ON Public Safety and Security
Introduced: January 24, 2025
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to prohibit government entities from tracking or monitoring the movements of passenger motor vehicles within the state. This is intended to protect the privacy and civil liberties of individuals who operate such vehicles.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits any state or local government agency from installing, maintaining, or using any technology or device to track or monitor the location or movement of passenger motor vehicles
- Exempts law enforcement agencies from the prohibition, allowing them to continue using tracking technologies for legitimate law enforcement purposes
- Requires the removal of any existing tracking devices or technologies installed by government entities on passenger motor vehicles
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Individuals who own or operate passenger motor vehicles in the state, who would benefit from increased privacy protections
- State and local government agencies that currently use or have plans to implement vehicle tracking technologies
- Law enforcement agencies, which would maintain the ability to use tracking technologies for specific law enforcement activities
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
- The bill has been referred to the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Security for further consideration
- If passed, the prohibition on government vehicle tracking would take effect immediately upon the bill becoming law
