New Law: The Right to Repair bill signed into law

Sen. Derek Stanford - 1st Legislative District

The Right to Repair Act has been signed into law! 

House Bill 1483 (Senate Bill 5423) will require manufacturers to provide consumers and independent repair providers fair and reasonable access to certain parts, tools, and information needed to fix electronic devices. 

If you own an electronic device and it breaks, you should be able to choose to fix it yourself or take it to a local repair shop. 

This legislation will help save families money, allow people to keep their devices working longer, and support small businesses.

I'm grateful to my colleague, Representative Mia Su-Ling Gregerson, for her work on this over the years!

From Gov. Bob Ferguson

I signed 2 bills today on the right to repair that passed with bipartisan support.

1. HB 1483 ensures the right to repair for electronic products.
2. SB 5680 establishes the right to repair for mobility equipment, like wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

Thank you to Representative Mia Su-Ling Gregerson for your work on these bills, as well as Sen. Drew Hansen and Sen. Derek Stanford.
