Massachusetts S3062, known as the digital right to repair bill, mandates that manufacturers of consumer electronic devices provide documentation, parts, and tools to independent repair providers and device owners on fair and reasonable terms. This includes updates and standardized formats, excluding trade secrets. The bill exempts certain equipment like motor vehicles, farm machinery, and FDA-approved devices. It also allows independent repair providers and owners to file complaints if manufacturers fail to comply, with potential penalties for non-compliance.
