U.S. lawmakers introduced a bipartisan bill prohibiting the importation and manufacture of China-linked vehicles in the country, according to a Monday press release.
Representatives John Moolenaar and Debbie Dingell filed the Connected Vehicle Security Act, codifying former U.S. President Joe Biden's 2025 regulations that barred Chinese and Russian vehicle software and hardware.
The bill partners similar legislation in the Senate filed by Democrat Elissa Slotkin and Republican Bernie Moreno.
Under the proposed bill, the U.S. will prohibit importing, manufacturing, selling, or introducing connected vehicles into American soil from countries it considers adverse, including China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, effective Jan. 1, 2027.
Connected vehicle software will be banned beginning Jan. 1, 2027, while connected vehicle hardware will be prohibited beginning in 2030.
