PA SB1044

Amends Title 75 (Vehicles) to require connected vehicles to clearly notify drivers inside the vehicle when someone outside is remotely accessing location tracking or other connected services

Requires vehicle manufacturers to provide a prominent "HOW TO DISCONNECT REMOTE VEHICLE ACCESS" link on their websites, allowing drivers to terminate another person's access within 2 business days by providing the VIN and proof of legal possession (title, court order, or domestic violence restraining order)

Mandates an in-vehicle mechanism to immediately disable location tracking that is easy to use, requires no app or account login, and does not notify the account holder when disabled—designed specifically to protect abuse survivors

Creates the criminal offense of unauthorized use of electronic tracking device (installing/using a tracker on another person's vehicle without consent), graded as a second-degree misdemeanor for first offense and first-degree misdemeanor for subsequent offenses

Exempts law enforcement with proper authority, parents tracking minor children, guardians of incapacitated persons, fleet vehicle owners, and legitimate business uses from the tracking device prohibition
