Summary

HB 1104 criminalizes the creation, distribution and facilitation of devices that can program, emulate or relay motor vehicle keys when the user intends to commit theft or unauthorized entry. It does not punish mere possession, but allows intent to be inferred from circumstances such as using the device to break into a car or possessing multiple devices without a lawful purpose. The measure aims to curb vehicle theft tools in Louisiana.
