Summary

The bill obligates manufacturers of certain motor vehicles and farm equipment to provide diagnostic data, repair manuals, software and telematics information to owners and independent repair facilities on fair and reasonable terms. It also requires manufacturers with telematics systems to install an open‑data platform and directs the Attorney General’s consumer‑protection division to issue guidance on telematics and consumer rights. The measure is intended to strengthen the right‑to‑repair and stop manufacturers from misrepresenting part numbers for farm equipment.
