The "Digital Electronics Right to Repair Act" is a proposed legislation that seeks to amend Title 6 of the General Laws to ensure that owners and independent repair providers have access to the necessary resources to diagnose, maintain, or repair digital electronic equipment. The bill mandates that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must supply the required documentation, parts, and tools on fair and reasonable terms, and it prohibits OEMs from using restrictive measures such as parts pairing to block the use of non-manufacturer approved parts or to limit who can perform repairs. The act also requires that special documentation, tools, and parts needed to reset locks or functions disabled during repair be made available.

The bill provides clear definitions for terms such as "authorized repair provider," "digital electronic equipment," and "independent repair provider," among others. It specifies conditions for the provision of documentation, tools, and parts, such as offering documentation at no cost (with the exception of physical copies) and making tools available without requiring authorization or internet access. The act is designed to promote a competitive repair market and enhance consumer choice by ensuring that independent repair providers and equipment owners have the same access to repair materials as authorized repair providers. The legislation would apply to equipment sold on or after January 1, 2025, and would be effective immediately upon passage.
