缅因州立法机关可能压倒州长的否决权,妨碍获得车辆诊断数据,从而阻碍选民修补法律的权利。 Maine’s legislature may block voters' right to repair law by overriding the governor’s veto, undermining access to vehicle diagnostic data.

2023年,缅因州选民批准了一项修理权倡议,要求汽车制造商向车主和独立商店提供标准化、无线的诊断数据。 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. 该法于2025年1月1日生效,旨在确保公平竞争,降低修理费用。 The law, effective January 1, 2025, aimed to ensure fair competition and lower repair costs. 然而,立法机构取代了所建议的非专有性平台,代之以不那么严格的替代方案,没有联合工作组的支持。 However, the Legislature replaced the recommended nonproprietary platform with a less stringent alternative not backed by a joint working group. 州长Janet Mills否决了这一改变,指出必须维护法律的意图,但众议院狭隘地压倒了她的否决权。 Governor Janet Mills vetoed the change, citing the need to uphold the law’s intent, but the House narrowly overrode her veto. 预计参议院在重新开会时将就否决问题进行表决,以确定是否将按选民的意向执行该法律。 The Senate is expected to vote on the override when it reconvenes, determining whether the law will be implemented as voters intended.
