Plain-English Summary
This bill would require manufacturers to make repair parts, tools, and instructions available to consumers and independent repair shops so people can fix their own devices instead of being forced to use expensive manufacturer repair services. It would apply to products like phones, computers, appliances, and farm equipment, giving owners more control over repairs and potentially saving money while reducing electronic waste. The legislation aims to break down barriers that currently prevent people from fixing things they own.
