Changes the laws regarding consumer products so that certain individuals and businesses have access to product repair information from certain manufacturers

HB 582 requires manufacturers to provide independent repair shops with access to repair manuals, service parts, and documentation for consumer products (excluding motor vehicles) on fair and reasonable terms. The law defines "fair and reasonable terms" as pricing based on the manufacturer's actual cost for parts and comparable market prices, excluding research and development costs. This directly affects manufacturers who sell consumer products and independent repair businesses, enabling them to fix products without relying solely on manufacturer-authorized services. The bill does not apply to motor vehicles.
