Motorcycles added to Digital Fair Repair Act.
HF 2519 expands Minnesota's Digital Fair Repair Act to include motorcycles, requiring manufacturers to provide independent repair shops with fair access to parts, tools, and documentation. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to define "digital electronic equipment" to explicitly cover motorcycles, ensuring manufacturers cannot impose unreasonable restrictions on independent repair providers. Key provisions mandate that parts, tools, and documentation must be offered at fair prices and without conditions forcing repair shops to become manufacturer-authorized. This directly affects motorcycle owners, who gain more repair options, and independent repair shops, which can now access necessary resources without manufacturer barriers. The law aims to promote competition and reduce repair costs by treating motorcycles under the same rules as other digital devices.
