New York's Right to Repair law, the Digital Fair Repair Act, has been signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul although some amendments took the bite out of the act.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul affixed her signature to the Digital Fair Repair Act and while other states have passed Right to Repair bills, none are as all-encompassing as New York's legislation. As noted by, the bill gives consumers and independent repair shops the ability to obtain from manufacturers manuals, diagrams, and parts necessary to fix a device. The manufacturers covered by the law have to do business inside the state of New York.
The impact of the bill was reduced by a couple of controversial last-minute amendments that Governor Hochul said were necessary to protect consumers from both physical harm and security issues. The first amendment allows manufacturers to sell parts already assembled instead of delivering individual components. The decision to do so is up to the manufacturer.
