ASSIGNED PA 0113'26 WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT
Summary
The law requires dealers to give a separate, written consent before any dealer data can be accessed or shared by manufacturers, data vendors, or authorized integrators. It bars manufacturers from forcing direct system access, bans cyber‑ransom tactics, and limits fees to documented, cost‑based charges. Dealers gain the right to revoke consent, audit data use, and require secure data transfers when contracts end.
