I noticed BGR's paranoid stance last time I read an article there. I don't remember the subject matter, but it too was linked to infowars.com. I cringe every time I see an article citing that site.

And yeah, the bill looks harmless to me. Just an EDR with no requirement for wireless transmission, and no identifying information. And when I saw the section on ownership I was pretty satisfied.

I could see this data being required by the insurance companies though.
