A bill for an act relating to consumer rights to repair specified goods, and providing penalties.

This bill, the "Iowa Right to Repair Act," requires manufacturers of cell phones, home appliances, and motor vehicles to provide independent repair shops and consumers with diagnostic and repair information, software updates, and necessary tools after the product is six years old. Manufacturers must make this information available at no charge or on the same terms as provided to their own authorized repair shops. Additionally, manufacturers must sell diagnostic tools to independent repair providers at "fair and reasonable terms," considering costs and affordability. This law aims to expand repair options by reducing barriers for independent shops and consumers.
