Bill > LD1227

This bill repeals the requirement for motor vehicle manufacturers to equip vehicles with a standardized data access platform. Specifically, the legislation modifies an existing law by removing references to a "standardized access platform" from the provisions governing vehicle data access. The bill maintains the existing requirement for an independent entity (designated by the Attorney General) to manage access to vehicle-generated data through the on-board diagnostic system, but eliminates the mandate for a separate standardized platform. The independent entity will continue to be composed of representatives from various automotive industry trade groups and will retain responsibilities for identifying standards, monitoring data use policies, and ensuring cybersecurity. By removing the standardized access platform requirement, the bill likely aims to provide motor vehicle manufacturers with more flexibility in how they handle vehicle-generated data while still maintaining oversight and security protocols.
