Bill > LD1677

This bill aims to ensure the "right to repair" for automotive owners and independent repair facilities in Maine. It requires manufacturers to provide standardized access to vehicle diagnostic and repair information, including telematics system data, to owners and independent repair shops on fair and reasonable terms. The bill also establishes an independent entity to oversee and manage access to vehicle-generated data, and requires dealers to provide prospective vehicle owners with a notice about telematics systems and their right to authorize independent repair facilities to access vehicle data. The bill applies to model year 2002 and later vehicles, including commercial and heavy-duty vehicles.
