Protecting Military Bases from Connected Vehicles of Concern Act of 2025

This bill aims to enhance national security by restricting certain vehicles on Department of Defense property. It specifically prohibits the operation of connected vehicles on military installations or other DoD property if they are identified on a list created by the Secretary of Defense. This prohibition will take effect after January 1, 2028, targeting vehicles that pose significant security risks. The Secretary of Defense is mandated to establish and publish this list by January 1, 2027, identifying connected vehicles designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign entity of concern . These vehicles must also be deemed to pose an undue risk of sabotage, catastrophic effects on critical infrastructure, or an unacceptable risk to national security. The list will be subject to annual review and consultation with other federal agencies, and the Secretary must also provide an implementation plan by June 1, 2027, detailing how the prohibition will be enforced and managed.
