Right to Repair Bills Introduced in All 50 States, Marking Major Milestone

For the first time, every U.S. state has introduced right to repair legislation, marking a major victory for consumer rights. Wisconsin became the final state to file a bill, joining a growing movement that has already led to laws in six states and active proposals in 20 others. These laws aim to ensure consumers, farmers, and businesses can access repair parts, manuals, and remove software locks that restrict independent fixes.

Once dismissed by tech industry lobbyists, the movement has gained support from consumers, lawmakers, and major companies like Apple and John Deere. Advocates see this as a turning point toward ending disposable, locked-down products. “We’ve gone from a handful of passionate advocates to a nationwide call for repair autonomy,” said iFixit’s Kyle Wiens. With all 50 states now engaged, the push for repair-friendly laws is stronger than ever.
