·Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act of 2001. Senate Bill 2617. Hearing 7/30/02.
<http://www.asashop.org/legis/SB2617.htm>
Interesting bill that requires the car manufacturers to make public all information required to repair/mod an automobile. The idea is that independent mechanics are squeezed out by undocumented computer systems. Also, to facilitate the development of non-OEM parts.
“Such information shall include--
(1) information necessary to integrate replacement equipment into the vehicle; and
(2) other information of any kind used to diagnose, service, repair, activate, certify, or install any motor vehicle equipment (including replacement equipment) in a motor vehicle.”
The Trade Secret loophole is daunting, but if this bill passes our sandbox could get a whole lot bigger.
