To prohibit the operation within 25 miles of a military installation, a 
  facility of the Federal Government, or sensitive infrastructure of 
 certain technology manufactured in a country that is an adversary of 
               the United States, and for other purposes.

United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Countering Adversary Reconnaissance 
(CAR) Act of 2024''.

SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN CONNECTED VEHICLES AND CONNECTED VEHICLE 
              COMPONENTS NEAR MILITARY INSTALLATIONS, FACILITIES OF THE

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Information and communications technology and services 
        integral to connected vehicles generally enable safer and more 
        fuel-efficient travel for drivers and passengers.
            (2) Such technology and services that are designed, 
        developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, 
        controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of 
        foreign adversaries can offer a direct entry point for 
        reconnaissance and surveillance of sensitive technology and 
        data and bypass measures intended to protect the safety and 
        security of United States persons, posing an unacceptable risk 
        to the national security of the United States.
    (b) Prohibition.--
            (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
        law, the operation of covered technology is prohibited within 
        25 miles of a military installation, a facility of the Federal 
        Government, or sensitive infrastructure.
            (2) Modification.--The President may modify the radius of 
        the prohibition on operation of covered technology under 
        paragraph (1) for certain military installations determined by 
        the President to be sensitive.
    (c) Enforcement.--The President may direct the Attorney General, 
and the heads of other Federal agencies as the President determines 
appropriate, to prescribe regulations necessary to enforce the 
prohibition under subsection (b).
    (d) Study.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Homeland Security, the 
        Director of National Intelligence, the Attorney General, and 
        the Secretary of Defense shall jointly conduct a study on the 
        national security concerns that covered technology presents to 
        the United States.
            (2) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the 
        Director of National Intelligence, the Attorney General, and 
        the Secretary of Defense shall jointly--
                    (A) submit to Congress a classified report on the 
                study conducted under paragraph (1); and
                    (B) publish on a publicly available website an 
                unclassified report on such study.
    (e) Definitions.--In this section:

        2801(c)(4) of title 10, United States Code.
            (4) Sensitive infrastructure.--The term ``sensitive
