Bill > A03058

This bill introduces the Electronics Repair Scores Act, which requires manufacturers of digital electronic equipment to develop and display a repair score for their products. The repair score, which ranges from one to ten, will be calculated based on criteria established by the New York State Attorney General, including factors such as the availability of technical documents, ease of disassembly, spare parts availability and pricing, length of software support, and other product-specific considerations. Manufacturers must print the repair score and its logo representation on product packaging, display the score on their website product listing pages, and provide a detailed explanation of how the score was calculated. Retail sellers will be required to display this score at the point of sale, allowing consumers to make more informed decisions about the repairability and longevity of electronic devices. The goal is to promote consumer choice and encourage manufacturers to design more repairable and sustainable electronic products. The law will take effect one year after its passage, giving manufacturers time to implement the new scoring and reporting requirements.
