Bill Summary

Relative to disclosure notice in the right to repair motor vehicle data law. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing right to repair motor vehicle data law in Massachusetts. It requires vehicle manufacturers to include a notice in the owner's manual of new vehicles starting with the 2025 model year. This notice must explain motor vehicle telematics, the mechanical data collected and transmitted, the owner's ability to access this data through a mobile device, and the owner's right to authorize independent repair facilities to access the data for vehicle diagnostics, repair, and maintenance. The goal is to provide more transparency and information to consumers about the data collected by their vehicles and their right to access and share that data with independent repair shops.
