Massachusetts Question 1
In 2020, the Vehicle Data Access Requirement Initiative (the "Right to Repair Law") was placed before voters as Ballot Question 1[1][2]. The initiative was designed to enhance the existing 2013 Motor Vehicle Right to Repair Law by including vehicles that used telematics systems, thereby ensuring broader access to repair data[3]
Voting 'Yes'
A "yes" vote supported requiring manufacturers that sell vehicles with telematics systems in Massachusetts to equip them with a standardized open data platform beginning with model year 2022 that vehicle owners and independent repair facilities may access to retrieve mechanical data and run diagnostics through a mobile-based application.
Voting 'No'
A "no" vote opposed requiring vehicles beginning with model year 2022 to be equipped with a standardized open data platform that vehicle owners and independent repair facilities may access to retrieve mechanical data and run diagnostics through a mobile-based application, thereby maintaining that vehicle owners and independent repair facilities may access mechanical and diagnostic data through a personal computer.
