This bill amends the Digital Fair Repair Act in Minnesota to include motorcycles alongside digital electronic equipment. Key changes involve the definition of "authorized repair provider," which now encompasses those who provide services for motorcycles, and the requirement for original equipment manufacturers to make documentation, parts, and tools available for both motorcycles and digital electronic equipment on fair and reasonable terms. The bill also introduces a specific definition for "motorcycle" and outlines the obligations of manufacturers regarding the availability of repair resources.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that manufacturers are not required to disclose trade secrets or provide access to proprietary information beyond what is necessary for repair purposes. It establishes limitations on the obligations of manufacturers, such as not requiring them to provide parts or documentation for modifications or to disable security measures without authorization. The liability provisions protect manufacturers and authorized repair providers from damages resulting from repairs conducted by independent providers or owners. Overall, the bill aims to enhance repair accessibility for motorcycles while maintaining certain protections for manufacturers.
