This bill, titled the Fair Repair Act, aims to enhance consumer and independent repair provider access to repair services for digital electronic equipment. It mandates that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) make available all necessary documentation, parts, and tools, including updates, to independent repair providers and equipment owners for diagnosis, maintenance, or repair on fair and reasonable terms. This ensures that repair information and components are not exclusively held by authorized service networks. A key provision of the bill prohibits OEMs from using "parts pairing" or similar mechanisms that prevent the installation of otherwise functional parts, inhibit device functionality with non-manufacturer parts, create misleading alerts, or impose additional fees for future repairs. Violations of these requirements will be treated as unfair or deceptive acts or practices and enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) . State Attorneys General are also authorized to bring civil actions to enjoin violations, enforce compliance, and seek penalties or damages. The Act clarifies that OEMs must provide tools for security-related functions to restore full functionality after repair, but it does not compel the divulgence of trade secrets beyond what is necessary for repair. Importantly, the bill explicitly excludes motor vehicles, medical devices, off-road vehicles, and safety communications equipment from its scope. Furthermore, OEMs are not held liable for damage or data breaches resulting from repairs performed by independent providers or owners, nor are they required to warrant such repairs.
