H 329 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to disclosure notice in the right to repair motor vehicle data law

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require vehicle manufacturers to include a specific notice in the owner's manuals for all new cars starting with the 2025 model year. The notice must explain what telematics systems are, describe the mechanical data they collect, confirm that owners can access this data via mobile devices, and state the owner's right to let independent repair shops access the data for maintenance. By updating the existing Right to Repair law, the legislation ensures that future car buyers are clearly informed about data collection and their options for vehicle servicing before they purchase a new vehicle.
