The proposed bill establishes the "Digital Electronics Right to Repair Act," which aims to enhance the repairability of digital electronic equipment sold in the state starting January 1, 2026. Under this act, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are required to make available to independent repair providers and owners of digital electronic equipment any documentation, parts, and tools necessary for the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of such equipment on fair and reasonable terms. This includes ensuring that documentation and tools are accessible without excessive restrictions or additional fees.

The act prohibits OEMs from using practices such as parts pairing that could prevent the installation or functioning of non-manufacturer approved parts, inhibit the functioning of any part, create misleading alerts regarding repairs, charge additional fees for future repairs, or limit who can purchase parts or perform repair services. Additionally, OEMs must provide access to special documentation and tools needed to deactivate locks for repairs, while safeguarding trade secrets and not requiring the disclosure of sensitive information beyond what is necessary for repairs.

Enforcement of these provisions will be overseen by the attorney general, who is granted the authority to take action against any unfair methods of competition, false advertising, or deceptive trade practices related to compliance with the act.
