Summary

The bill adds new rules to California's Business and Professions Code that force makers of connected consumer products sold at retail to disclose a minimum support period of no less than five years and to prohibit cutting that period. It also mandates clear end‑of‑life notifications to owners and requires leasing companies to apply updates promptly and replace devices that reach end of life at no extra cost to the consumer.
