The bill, H.B. No. 2547, introduces a new section to the Transportation Code that prohibits the manufacture and sale of motor vehicles equipped with remote vehicle disabling technology. This technology is defined as any application or device that can disable a motor vehicle's operation when activated, excluding ignition interlock devices. Under the new provisions, manufacturers are barred from producing or selling such vehicles, and dealers are prohibited from selling or exchanging them. Violations of this section could lead to the revocation of the dealer's license.

Additionally, the bill provides a grace period, allowing manufacturers and dealers until January 1, 2026, to comply with these new regulations. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
