Summary

Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026

This bill prohibits the importation, manufacture, sale, resale, or introduction into U.S. interstate commerce of connected vehicles and related software and hardware components associated with China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea.

Connected vehicle means a vehicle that (1) integrates onboard networked hardware with automotive software systems to communicate with any other network or device using certain methods (e.g., wireless spectrum connectivity); or (2) is designed, manufactured, or originally equipped to communicate via such methods, regardless of whether such capability is enabled, disabled, or removed at the time the vehicle enters the United States.

Current regulations administered by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) prohibit transactions involving vehicle connectivity system hardware and covered software designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of China or Russia.

The bill expands the BIS regulatory framework, including by (1) expanding the countries covered by the prohibition to include China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea (Current BIS regulations apply only to China and Russia.); and (2) specifying that certain artificial intelligence components are covered by the prohibition.

By January 1, 2027, BIS must publish a list of items that are authorized for the importation, manufacture, sale, resale, or introduction into U.S. interstate commerce and would otherwise be subject to the bill's prohibition.

The bill also includes enforcement mechanisms, including that BIS must assess civil penalties for violations of the prohibition.

Constitutional authority

Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant to the following: This legislation is introduced pursuant to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, which grants Congress the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states, to provide for the common defense and general welfare, and to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution those powers. The importation, manufacture, sale, and introduction into interstate commerce of connected vehicles and associated components linked to foreign adversaries falls squarely within Congress's foreign and interstate commerce authority, and the national security rationale underlying the bill's prohibitions is a direct exercise of Congress's responsibility to provide for the common defense.
