AV Emergency Response Coordination Act
To establish minimum standards for how autonomous vehicle operators work with emergency responders, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to set minimum standards for how companies operating autonomous vehicles (like self-driving cars) must communicate and coordinate with emergency responders. It aims to ensure that in the event of an accident or emergency involving an autonomous vehicle, emergency responders can quickly and effectively access the necessary information and systems.
This bill would affect companies that operate autonomous vehicles as well as emergency responders. By establishing clear guidelines and protocols, the bill aims to improve response times and effectiveness in emergency situations, potentially saving lives and reducing harm.
As of August 3, 2026, HB10033 has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, as well as the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The committees will review the bill and may hold hearings to gather input before deciding on next steps. Key actions so far include its introduction and referral to the appropriate committees for consideration.
