electronic equipment; modifications

Summary

The bill adds a new article to Arizona law that makes it illegal for original equipment manufacturers to disable electronic equipment simply because an owner has made a modification such as a firmware update. Owners can sue for up to $1,000 per violation and the state can impose civil penalties, which are deposited in a consumer fraud fund. The rule applies to consumer electronics but excludes vehicles, medical devices, and items not sold at retail.
