Bill > HB110

This bill establishes a comprehensive right to repair for motorcycles in Missouri, requiring original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to provide independent repair providers and motorcycle owners with access to documentation, parts, and tools necessary for diagnosis, maintenance, and repair. The legislation defines key terms such as "authorized repair provider," "documentation," and "fair and reasonable terms," and mandates that manufacturers make diagnostic tools, service manuals, software, and replacement parts available at equivalent costs and conditions as those offered to their authorized repair providers. The bill includes provisions protecting trade secrets and security features, ensuring that manufacturers are not required to divulge proprietary information, and allowing secure-release systems for accessing security-related tools and documentation. The law prohibits manufacturers from imposing unreasonable restrictions on repair access and considers violations as unlawful practices under the state's merchandising practices act, with enforcement powers granted to the attorney general. Importantly, the bill does not require manufacturers to disable antitheft security measures without owner authorization and protects OEMs from liability for damages caused during independent repairs. The legislation is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and will apply to motorcycles sold or in use on or after that date, representing a significant advancement in consumer and independent repair rights in the state of Missouri.
