The legislation requires powered wheelchair manufacturers to release spare parts, software, firmware, documentation, and necessary tools to independent repair shops and individual owners of wheelchairs. Violations will be considered a deceptive trade practice and incur a $20,000 fine. Governor Polis is expected to sign the bill into law soon.
This will be the first non-vehicular Right to Repair law in the U.S, and will help build momentum to increase all repair access.
