Read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
This bill would ban certain “connected” cars and trucks from driving on U.S. military bases and other Defense Department property if they come from companies tied to countries the U.S. sees as security risks. The Pentagon must post a public list of which vehicles are banned. The list will include connected vehicles made, designed, developed, or supplied by companies owned by, controlled by, or under the jurisdiction of a foreign entity of concern, and that pose high risks to U.S. technology, critical infrastructure, or national security. The list must be created by January 1, 2027, reviewed every year, and updated as needed, with reasons given if items are removed .
After January 1, 2028, vehicles on that list cannot be operated on any military installation or other Defense Department property. Before then, the Defense Department must set up an implementation plan, including who will run it, how vehicles will be assessed, how bases will enforce the rules, and what resources are needed, with a briefing due by June 1, 2027 .
