Subject: | Cosponsorship: Vehicle Event Data Recorders |
In the near future, I plan to reintroduce legislation (HB 879 of 2013-2014) to establish the Motor Vehicle Event Data Recorder Act, which will place certain restrictions and requirements for vehicle event data recorders (EDR’s). More specifically, my proposal would require manufacturers of new motor vehicles sold or leased in Pennsylvania to disclose in the vehicle-operating manual whether the vehicle is equipped with an EDR. If the vehicle is equipped with an EDR, then the legislation provides a description of the data which can be recorded and notice that data downloaded or otherwise retrieved by a data recorder can be used as evidence in any legal proceedings. In addition, this legislation also prohibits individuals from downloading or retrieving data unless if under any of the following circumstances:
Any data retrieved or downloaded under this act shall not be sufficient as the sole evidence in any adjudication of the cause of a motor vehicle accident unless it is corroborated by other evidence. |
