Today, the New York state legislature passed a new piece of legislation aimed at covering “Right to Repair” when it comes to the broad scope of electronics.<\/p>\n

The Fair Repair Act will require all manufacturers that sell “digital electronic products” to make tools, parts, and repair instructions available to both consumers and independent repair shops. Now that the legislation has passed both the NY State Senate and Assembly, the bill will be sent to the state’s governor, who can decide to either sign or veto the bill. <\/p>\n

New York is not the first state in the United States to pass legislation, but the legislation passed today has covered electronics broadly. In contrast, states like Massachusetts and Colorado also passed laws focused on the right to repair. However, the laws were particular on what type of repair rights were provided and did not specifically target electronics most people have and use daily, such as a smartphone. <\/p>\n
