Summary of HF 2519: Motorcycles Added to Digital Fair Repair Act

Overview

This bill proposes to expand the scope of Minnesota's existing Digital Fair Repair Act to include motorcycles, snowmobiles, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The goal is to ensure owners and independent repair shops have access to the information and tools needed to diagnose, maintain, and repair these types of vehicles.

Key Provisions

  • Requires manufacturers of motorcycles, snowmobiles, and ATVs to make repair information, diagnostic tools, and parts available to owners and independent repair businesses on fair and reasonable terms.
  • Prohibits manufacturers from restricting access to embedded software or firmware that controls the functioning of these vehicles.
  • Establishes a new enforcement mechanism, allowing the Minnesota Attorney General to pursue legal action against manufacturers who do not comply.
  • Extends all existing protections and requirements of the Digital Fair Repair Act to cover motorcycles, snowmobiles, and ATVs.

Affected Stakeholders

  • Owners of motorcycles, snowmobiles, and ATVs who want the ability to repair their own vehicles or use independent repair shops.
  • Independent repair shops that service motorcycles, snowmobiles, and ATVs.
  • Authorized dealerships and repair providers for these types of vehicles.
  • Manufacturers of motorcycles, snowmobiles, and ATVs who may need to make changes to their repair information and parts access policies.

Timeline and Procedure

  • The bill was introduced on March 20, 2025 and has been referred to the Commerce Finance and Policy committee for initial consideration.
  • If passed by the committee, the bill would then proceed to a full vote in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
  • The companion bill, SF 2484, has been introduced in the Minnesota Senate and is also currently in committee.
  • If both the House and Senate versions of the bill are approved, the legislation would then be sent to the Governor for final signature into law.
