This bill addresses a growing problem where technology, specifically connected car features, can be weaponized by abusers to stalk, control, and intimidate survivors. In an era where many cars offer remote access, location tracking, and even remote disabling features, abusers can exploit these tools to maintain power over their victims, even after a survivor attempts to leave an abusive situation. This can make it incredibly difficult for individuals to escape and rebuild their lives safely.
If this bill becomes law, it provides a crucial legal pathway for survivors to quickly cut off a form of tech-enabled abuse that is currently difficult to address. It removes potential financial or administrative hurdles that survivors might face when trying to sever these connections. Without this bill, survivors might have limited options or face significant delays and costs in stopping an abuser from using car-related apps, leaving them vulnerable to continued surveillance and control.
