HI HB1884

Requires original equipment manufacturers to make documentation, parts, tools, and software updates available to independent repair providers and equipment owners on fair and reasonable terms for diagnosis, maintenance, and repair of digital electronic equipment sold or used in Hawaii.

Defines fair and reasonable terms as costs and delivery equivalent to what authorized repair providers receive from manufacturers, accounting for discounts and rebates, with documentation available at no charge except for reasonable printing and shipping costs.

Mandates manufacturers provide special documentation, tools, and parts needed to reset electronic security locks or functions disabled during repair, which may be made available through secure release systems.

Exempts motor vehicle manufacturers, motor vehicle equipment manufacturers, and motor vehicle dealers from these requirements when acting in those capacities.

Classifies violations as unfair or deceptive practices under Hawaii's consumer protection laws, allowing the attorney general to enforce the requirements; effective July 1, 2050.
