Safe Vehicle Access for Survivors Act

Bill 119 HR 2110, also known as the Survivor Safety and Security Act, aims to provide survivors of domestic violence with a way to request the termination or disabling of connected vehicle services that their abusers may be misusing. This bill recognizes that abusers may use technology, such as GPS tracking or remote vehicle control, to monitor and control their victims, posing a serious threat to their safety and security.

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.
