I look forward to continued work on this bill with Senator Moreno, our workers, our manufacturers and anyone else to stop Chinese vehicles from ever coming into the United States.
Slotkin says she will continue working on the bill to stop Chinese vehicles from entering the United States.
The official bill text proposes prohibiting importation, integration, manufacture, sale, and resale of connected vehicles, software, and hardware linked to China or other foreign adversaries, with phased implementation starting in 2027 and hardware restrictions in 2030.
The Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026 would ban China- or foreign-adversary-linked connected vehicles, software, and hardware from the U.S. market on a phased timeline.
“We urge you to stay the course and make it clear that Chinese auto manufacturers and their products present unprecedented dangers to our economic and national security, and their manufacture, sale, or operation on U.S. soil is non-negotiable.”
Slotkin joined other senators in urging the Trump administration to maintain and expand restrictions so Chinese automakers and their products cannot be manufactured, sold, operated, or routed into the United States.

Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial.same_termA for effort
Slotkin materially advanced the promise by co-leading and co-sponsoring a 2026 Senate bill to prohibit Chinese-connected vehicles and China-origin vehicle software and hardware, but the bill had not become law. Separately, existing federal rules were already phasing in bans on certain China-linked connected-car software and later hardware, which partially matches the promised outcome. Because the broader ban on Chinese vehicles from the U.S. market was not fully enacted or completed, this is partial rather than delivered.
