Requires tech companies to share repair info and parts, making it easier for you to fix your electronics.
This bill would require tech companies to share repair information, parts, and tools with independent repair shops and device owners. This means people could fix their own digital electronics or choose from more repair options, potentially saving money and extending device life. It would also stop companies from using software to block repairs.
Today, tech companies that make digital electronics are not required to share repair manuals, parts, or tools with independent repair shops or device owners, and they can use software to limit who can fix their products. If this bill passes, these companies would have to provide those resources on fair and reasonable terms and would be banned from using software tricks that block independent repairs, giving consumers and repair shops more options.
