Portable Wireless Device Repair

Summary

The bill creates a "Digital Right to Repair" statute that obligates manufacturers of phones and similar devices to make repair parts, tools and manuals available to device owners and independent repair providers at fair and reasonable terms, often at no charge for documentation. It also bars manufacturers from forcing authorized repair shops to keep buying information in a proprietary format when a standardized format exists. The measure failed to advance and died in committee.
