The Fair Repair Act makes it easier for people to fix their digital devices by requiring manufacturers to share repair information and parts. This helps independent repair shops and device owners access the tools they need without unfair restrictions.
1. This bill requires manufacturers to provide repair information to independent repair shops. 2. It prevents manufacturers from blocking the use of third-party parts in their devices. 3. The bill stops companies from charging extra fees for repairs or creating misleading alerts. 4. It allows state attorneys general to enforce these rules and seek penalties for violations. 5. Manufacturers must offer parts and tools to both repair shops and device owners.
Independent repair shops and owners of digital electronic devices will benefit from this bill.
