To allow for local electronic repair shops to repair Apple phones

HB 2155, the Electronic Right to Repair Act, requires manufacturers of digital electronic equipment (like smartphones) to provide independent repair shops and owners with necessary documentation, parts, and tools at fair and reasonable terms. Specifically, it mandates that manufacturers make repair documentation available free of charge (with minimal cost for physical copies), provide tools without requiring internet access or special authorization, and offer parts at the same cost and terms they provide to their own authorized repair shops. This directly affects manufacturers (such as Apple) and benefits local independent repair businesses and consumers who want to repair devices without relying solely on manufacturer services. The law aims to increase competition in repair services by removing barriers that previously restricted third-party repair access.
