An Act To Clarify Certain Terms In The Automotive Right To Repair Laws

Summary

The bill updates the definitions used in Maine’s automotive right‑to‑repair statutes, specifying who counts as a customer, an independent repair facility, and what constitutes diagnostic and mechanical data, telematics, and related technology. It also mandates that owners and independent repair shops have standardized, secure access to on‑board diagnostic systems without needing manufacturer permission, unless a uniform authorization process is in place. The changes aim to make vehicle repair information more transparent and to protect owner privacy.
