Dealer data vendor; standardized framework; application programming interfaces.

Sec. 15. (1) A dealer data vendor shall adopt and make available a standardized framework for both of the following: (a) The exchange, integration, and sharing of protected dealer data from a dealer data system with an authorized integrator. (b) The retrieval of protected dealer data by an authorized integrator using star standards or a standard that is compatible with star standards. (2) A dealer data vendor shall provide access to open application programming interfaces to an authorized integrator. (3) If the application program interfaces under subsection (2) are not the reasonable commercial or technical standard for secure data integration, the dealer data vendor may provide a similar open access integration method if that method provides the same or better access as an application programming interface and that method uses the required standardized framework.
