SB 244 (Eggman)

OVERVIEW:

SB 244 will require manufacturers of consumer electronics to provide replacement parts, diagnostic information, and service literature to consumers and third-party repair businesses.

THE ISSUE:

Guaranteeing a "right to repair" will ensure that consumers have the ability to fix the electronics that they own or have them fixed by a technician, preventing much of the electronic waste that gets thrown away every day and saving consumers money.
