Right to Repair Legislation Updates

The ongoing Right to Repair debate is gaining momentum across the United States, with seven states having enacted laws and over thirty others considering similar measures. These laws primarily focus on consumer electronics, mandating that manufacturers like Apple and Samsung provide access to necessary parts and information for repairs. A significant development in this area is the push to include the military under Right to Repair regulations within the National Defense Authorization Act. This could allow military contractors to possess the necessary equipment and knowledge for self-repair, but opposition from manufacturers stems from concerns about broader implications for consumer products.
