Bill overview
This bill, titled the ‘Digital Right to Repair Act,’ aims to ensure consumers and independent repair shops have access to the parts, tools, and information needed to fix electronics and appliances. Currently, manufacturers often restrict repairs through proprietary parts and software, forcing consumers to replace devices instead of repairing them. The bill seeks to promote competition and extend the lifespan of products by requiring manufacturers to provide repair resources.
