The Texas Senate has unanimously passed HB 2963, a right to repair law mandating manufacturers to make spare parts, manuals, and tools available for equipment sold in the state. This new law, if signed by Governor Greg Abbott, will position Texas as the first Republican-led state to adopt such regulations, joining eight other states including New York and California. Advocates emphasize that increased repairability will reduce electronic waste, which Texas generates heavily, highlighting bipartisan support for the bill as a win for consumers and environmental concerns.
"More repair means less waste. Texas produces some 621,000 tons of electronic waste per year, which creates an expensive and toxic mess. Now, thanks to this bipartisan win, Texans can fix that."
"If the bill is signed into law by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, that will add another significant market with these requirements in place."
