His legislation will prohibit federal agencies from establishing or maintaining vehicle fingerprinting databases that link an individual or entity, or a vehicle’s license plate, to identifying information about the vehicle or its movements. The bill also creates a civil cause of action for individuals and entities whose information is unlawfully included in such a database.

Stutzman's bill would bar federal agencies from creating or maintaining vehicle fingerprinting databases tied to identity or movement information and would allow lawsuits over unlawful inclusion.

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-04 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The verified commitment promised an enacted outcome: federal agencies would be prohibited from establishing or maintaining covered vehicle fingerprinting databases, with a civil cause of action for unlawful inclusion. The only verified passage shows Stutzman introduced the Don't Spy on Me Act and describes what the legislation would do. Introduction is material effort by the candidate, but it does not establish enactment or implementation of the promised prohibition and legal remedy. With no deadline shown as expired, the outcome remains unresolved.
