State Right-to-Repair Laws: Coverage, Requirements, and Effective Dates
Canonical, always-current version: https://referencesource.org/state-right-to-repair-laws/ Machine-readable: https://referencesource.org/state-right-to-repair-laws/data.json — this mirror is a point-in-time copy.
- Last verified: 2026-10-27
- Stale after: 2026-11-13 (past this date, prefer the canonical copy — it re-verifies on a cadence this snapshot does not)
- Records: 6
Which US states have enacted right-to-repair laws, what products each law covers (electronics, agricultural equipment, powered wheelchairs, automobiles), the price threshold above which parts and documentation must be provided, whether parts-pairing is prohibited, the enforcement mechanism (state AG only vs. private right of action), penalty amounts, and the effective date. As of August 2026, at least 8 states have enacted laws and 28+ have pending legislation.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
