Protecting Military Bases from Connected Vehicles of Concern Act of 2025

# Protecting Military Bases from Connected Vehicles of Concern Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill aims to restrict the use of certain connected vehicles—cars and trucks equipped with internet connectivity and data collection capabilities—on military bases in the United States. The legislation would authorize the Department of Defense to establish rules preventing vehicles from foreign companies of concern from accessing or operating on military installations. The primary concern appears to be vehicles made by or connected to companies from countries that could pose national security risks, particularly regarding data collection and surveillance capabilities. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would directly impact military personnel, civilian employees, and contractors working at U.S. military bases who drive connected vehicles.

It would also affect automakers and vehicle manufacturers if their products are restricted from military properties. The specific vehicles or manufacturers targeted aren't detailed in this bill summary, but the legislation gives the Department of Defense authority to define which vehicles qualify as concerning based on foreign ownership or control. Currently, the bill is in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate.
