(1) Children and pets left unattended in vehi-
cles, or children independently accessing unoccupied 
vehicles, are a significant public health and safety 
problem. 
(2) Millions of children are transported every 
day in the back seat of vehicles and are at risk of 
being unknowingly left behind and dying or suffering 
serious injuries from heatstroke. 
(3) Data collected by KidsAndCars.org found 
information about at least 8,000 children left alone 
in hot cars or as a result of gaining access independ-
ently into unoccupied cars between 1990 and 2020. 
Of those, over 990 children have been killed due to 
heatstroke and more than 1,200 children were in-
jured. 
(4) Over the past 30 years, child hot car deaths 
have continued to trend upwards despite widespread 
education programs and public awareness. 
(5) Inexpensive technology is currently available 
to detect the presence of an occupant unattended in 
a vehicle and engage a warning. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to reduce 
the deaths and injuries that result from occupants being 
left unattended in vehicles and instances in which children 
independently access an unoccupied vehicle.
