Attempt to repeal Colorado's right-to-repair law fails

Colorado's right-to-repair law survives an aggressive repeal attempt, cementing your right to fix your own electronics without corporate gatekeeping. The law, which took effect last year, has already saved consumers an estimated $12 million in repair costs by mandating access to parts and manuals. This victory is a direct blow to manufacturers who wanted to keep repair tools locked away, and it outperforms #7 (a similar law in another state) by covering a broader range of devices, including laptops and medical equipment. The law's survival ensures that independent repair shops can continue to offer services at 40% lower prices than authorized dealers, based on state data.
