Fair Repair Act

Introduced·2/10/26

The Fair Repair Act requires original equipment manufacturers to provide documentation, parts, and tools to independent repair providers for digital.

The Fair Repair Act mandates that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) make documentation, parts, and tools available to independent repair providers and equipment owners for the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of digital electronic equipment. This includes any updates necessary to maintain the equipment's functionality. The Act also prohibits OEMs from using parts pairing or other mechanisms to prevent the installation or functioning of non-manufacturer approved parts, inhibit part functioning, create false alerts, charge additional fees, or limit who can purchase parts or perform.
