The bill H. 3295 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new 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 scenarios where vehicle location data is essential.

The bill specifies that this obligation to provide location information overrides any conflicting provisions of law, ensuring that law enforcement can access this data promptly when needed. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor, thereby facilitating immediate implementation of this requirement for companies maintaining in-vehicle security systems.
