Ban Chinese vehicles and China-origin vehicle software and hardware from the U.S. market.

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.

Slotkin co-sponsored a Senate bill that would directly advance the claimed ban, but the document shows proposal status rather than enacted law.

The Washington Post reported that Slotkin and Moreno were leading a Senate bill to ban the import, sale, and manufacture of Chinese vehicles or auto software, and that the measure would extend existing restrictions and phase in a hardware embargo by 2030.

Recent reporting confirms ongoing legislative push in Slotkin's current Senate term, but also shows the effort is still a bill, not a completed ban.

The Wall Street Journal reported that a federal connected-car software ban is already in effect in stages: automakers must attest to compliance now, China-linked software is barred in 2027 models, and vehicles that fail the rule can be blocked from U.S. import or sale.

A separate federal rule is partially delivering the broader policy goal on software and hardware, but the reporting also shows the regime is limited and not a full ban on all Chinese vehicles.
