Changes the laws regarding consumer products so that certain individuals and businesses have a right to repair information from certain manufacturers

Summary

HB 2257 adds two new sections to Missouri’s consumer‑product law that define terms like “independent repair provider” and set out a right for product owners and independent repair shops to receive the same diagnostic data, software updates, service parts, and tools that manufacturers give to their authorized repair channels. The information must be provided on “fair and reasonable” terms, generally at no charge, and manufacturers would still be exempt if parts are no longer offered. The measure failed to pass.
