HB 2352 requires wireless telephone service providers and mobile device manufacturers to implement technology that disables stolen mobile devices. Wireless providers must suspend service to stolen devices upon notification by the authorized customer, and manufacturers must equip devices with features that allow the owner to render them inoperable if stolen. The bill applies to devices manufactured after its effective date and aims to reduce cell phone theft by making stolen devices unusable.
