Digital Fair Repair Act addition of motorcycles provision
This bill adds motorcycles to Minnesota's Digital Fair Repair Act, expanding the law to cover motorcycle repair. It requires manufacturers to provide independent repair shops (unaffiliated with the manufacturer) with diagnostic tools, parts, and documentation on "fair and reasonable terms," meaning at the same price and without restrictive conditions like mandatory registration or forcing shops to become authorized dealers. The law directly affects motorcycle owners and independent repair businesses by ensuring they have equal access to necessary repair resources as dealership shops. Key provisions prevent manufacturers from imposing unnecessary costs or restrictions on parts, tools, or documentation for motorcycles, aligning motorcycle repair with existing digital electronics coverage.
