"Oregon Enacts Strongest Right-to-Repair Law, Banning Anti-Repair Practices"
TL;DR
Oregon is on track to pass a comprehensive Right to Repair law that would ban "parts pairing" and require manufacturers to make compatible parts available to device owners at favorable prices. The legislation, if signed into law, would be the first to prohibit parts pairing, a practice that restricts individuals from using theoretically equivalent replacement parts in their electronic devices. The bill also mandates manufacturers to provide compatible parts without substantial conditions and at the most favorable price.
