(WHTM) — The Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed a lawmaker’s bill to ban the unauthorized tracking of victims using AirTags.

House Bill 407, introduced by State Rep. Lindsay Powell (D-Allegheny), aims to ban the use of AirTags and other similar technology for stalking or tracking someone without their consent. While some individuals have been charged after committing such acts in the past, Pennsylvania has yet to outline penalties for abusing this technology.

In July 2024, a Lancaster County constable was charged after stalking a fellow constable via an Apple AirTag that was found inside the victim’s vehicle.

“My bill not only gives neighbors their peace of mind and privacy back, but it would protect them from those seeking to do them harm,” Powell said. “It’s crucial that the legislature stays proactive when it comes to preventing bad actors from misusing this technology. Thank you to my House colleagues for voting to keep Pennsylvanians safe.”

According to Powell, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Apple in December 2022 for remote stalking.

The bill, known as House Bill 416 last year, once again passed in the house with a near unanimous vote, per Powell.

The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
