Bill > HB1933

This bill aims to broaden access to the information and tools necessary to repair digital electronic products, including computers, cell phones, appliances, agricultural equipment, and powered wheelchairs, in a secure and reliable manner. It requires original manufacturers to make available, on fair and reasonable terms, any parts, tools, and documentation required for the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of such products to independent repair providers and owners. The bill also outlines requirements for authorized and independent repair providers to protect customer privacy and security during the repair process. The bill includes several exceptions and limitations, such as not requiring the disclosure of trade secrets or the provision of parts and tools for the purpose of modifying products. Violations of the bill's provisions are considered unfair or deceptive acts under the state's consumer protection act, which can be enforced by the Attorney General.
