## Summary

**Blocks the import and sale of connected vehicles and related software and hardware tied to four designated foreign adversaries.** This bill would create a Commerce Department-led regulatory system that bans those items, sets paths for case-by-case authorizations, and applies civil penalties for violations. - Families and drivers may see reduced availability of certain connected vehicles, software, or parts that are linked to China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. Key prohibition dates in the bill are January 1, 2027 for vehicles and covered software and January 1, 2030 for connected vehicle hardware. - Manufacturers, importers, and resellers would need authorizations or risk-based mitigations to handle otherwise-prohibited items. The bill sets public lists, procedures for binding rulings and advisory opinions, and allows declarations of conformity to clarify compliance. - Regulators and enforcement would be centralized at the Commerce Department acting through the Under Secretary for Industry and Security. The bill creates testing and evaluation exemptions for certain U.S.-based entities, permits use of classified information in proceedings, requires annual reports to Congress, and imposes civil penalties of at least $1.5 million or five times the transaction value per violation, with daily accrual for continuing violations.
