This bill amends automotive right to repair laws to clarify definitions and access to diagnostic and repair information for certain motor vehicles.

The bill amends Maine's automotive right to repair laws by clarifying definitions and access to diagnostic and repair information for certain motor vehicles. It specifies that access to on-board diagnostic and repair information systems must be the same for owners and independent repair facilities as that provided to new vehicle dealers for model year 2002-2017 motor vehicles. For model year 2018 and later vehicles, access must be available through an off-the-shelf personal computer with specified capabilities.
