Relative to the motor vehicle right to repair law and consumer rights. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance, update, and protect the 2013 motor vehicle right to repair law and consumer rights. It defines "Mechanical Vehicle Data" as any telematics data in a vehicle related to diagnosis, repair, or maintenance, and "Telematic System" as any system that collects and stores information generated by the operation of the vehicle using wireless communications. The bill requires manufacturers to equip vehicles with an interoperable, standardized, and open access platform capable of securely communicating all telematics vehicle data in a standardized format, accessible to the vehicle owner or lessee through a mobile-based application. It also requires manufacturers to provide a consumer motor vehicle telematics system notice explaining the data collected and the consumer's ability to access and control the data. The bill empowers the Attorney General to ensure compliance and prohibit the sale of new motor vehicles if a manufacturer fails to comply with the act.
