This narrow legislation applies the language of the original Right-to-Repair law, passed in 2013, to the newly adopted Right-to-Repair Telematics law.

The requirements of the original 2013 law applied to heavy-duty vehicles, but the legislature expressly excluded those heavy-duty vehicles that were built to custom specifications – an acknowledgment of the unique and different realities of that aspect of the commercial vehicle manufacturing industry. With regard to the Right-to-Repair amendments that passed in November 2020, while heavy-duty vehicles were included in the law's new telematics requirements, the “built to custom specifications” language was omitted.

The bill adds a provision that mirrors the language of the original law, and inserts the following exception to the telematics requirement: "including heavy duty vehicles that are not heavy duty vehicles built to custom specifications sold in the commonwealth for commercial purposes."
