Bill > H365

This bill amends the existing "right to repair motor vehicle data law" in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1) It extends the deadline for the law's implementation from 2022 to 2025, giving more time for the changes to be put in place. 2) It requires vehicle manufacturers to include a notice in the owner's manual of new vehicles starting in model year 2025. This notice must explain vehicle telematics (the collection and transmission of mechanical data), summarize the data collected, inform owners of their ability to access this data through a mobile device, and explain owners' right to authorize independent repair facilities to access the data for diagnostics, repair, and maintenance. The goal is to improve consumers' ability to access and share vehicle data, supporting their right to repair their vehicles at independent facilities rather than being limited to manufacturer-affiliated options.
