The Right-to-Repair Act mandates that manufacturers of digital electronic equipment provide owners and independent repair providers with access to necessary documentation, parts, and tools for the diagnosis, maintenance, and repair of their products. This access must be granted on fair and reasonable terms, which includes making documentation available at no charge (with potential costs for physical copies), providing tools without impediments, and ensuring parts are offered at costs equivalent to those available to authorized repair providers. The act specifically prohibits manufacturers from using software to restrict the functionality of replacement parts or to mislead users about unidentified parts.

Additionally, the act outlines civil penalties for violations, ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per infraction, which will be enforced by the Attorney General. However, it also includes several limitations and exclusions, such as not requiring manufacturers to disclose trade secrets or provide documentation for certain types of equipment, including medical devices and motor vehicles. The act is set to take effect 180 days after its passage.
