flag Maine’s legislature may block voters' right to repair law by overriding the governor’s veto, undermining access to vehicle diagnostic data.

flag In 2023, Maine voters approved a right to repair initiative requiring automakers to provide vehicle owners and independent shops with standardized, wireless access to diagnostic data. flag The law, effective January 1, 2025, aimed to ensure fair competition and lower repair costs. flag However, the Legislature replaced the recommended nonproprietary platform with a less stringent alternative not backed by a joint working group. flag Governor Janet Mills vetoed the change, citing the need to uphold the law’s intent, but the House narrowly overrode her veto. flag The Senate is expected to vote on the override when it reconvenes, determining whether the law will be implemented as voters intended.
