AI Summary
This bill establishes fair and reasonable terms for providing diagnostic, service, or repair information and services for digital electronic products. It requires manufacturers to make available to independent repair providers and owners the same repair information, service parts, and diagnostic tools that they provide to authorized repair providers. The bill also prohibits manufacturers from requiring authorized repair providers to purchase diagnostic, service, or repair information in a proprietary format if it is available in a standardized format. The bill includes provisions for addressing violations and complaints, but excludes motor vehicles and medical devices from its scope.
