Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Moolenaar, John R. [R-MI-2]

Introduced

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.

Show full summary
  • 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.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Which cars and parts count as connected

This bill would define what counts as a “connected vehicle,” covered software, and covered hardware. It would list parts covered, such as microcontrollers, modems, telematics units, antennas, and battery-integrated systems, and would include AI and machine-learning models. A vehicle would count as connected even if its connection is turned off or removed. The resale exception would only apply to vehicles that were previously titled or registered and used by a consumer, or acquired for bona fide use, lease, or operation. The bill would exclude vehicles that operate only on rail.

Transition rules and agency powers

This bill would keep current exclusions in place at first but require the Secretary of Commerce to start rulemaking on January 1, 2030 to review those exclusions. For some covered software and connected vehicle hardware not previously covered, bans would take effect after January 1, 2030 and before January 1, 2032. If a court voided parts of the bill, the Secretary could reinstate or reissue prior regulations that were in force the day before enactment. The Secretary would also be allowed to consult DOT advisory committees and other agencies, including the FCC, to avoid conflicting rules.
