The bill H. 3295 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 23-1-260, which mandates that companies providing in-vehicle security systems, such as OnStar, must release vehicle location information to law enforcement agencies during emergency situations. This requirement is established to enhance the ability of law enforcement to respond effectively in critical circumstances.

The new legal language specifies that, despite any conflicting laws, these companies are obligated to comply with requests for vehicle location data from law enforcement when an emergency arises. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
