Oregon is set to become the latest state to pass a Right to Repair<\/a> law. The Oregon House of Representatives passed the Right to Repair Act (SB 1596)<\/a> on March 4, two weeks after it advanced from the Senate. It now heads to Governor Tina Kotek's desk, who has five days to sign it.<\/p>\n California<\/a>, Minnesota and New York have similar legislation, but Nathan Proctor, the Public Interest Research Group's Right to Repair Campaign<\/a> senior director, calls Oregon's legislation "the best bill yet." (It's worth noting that Colorado also has its own Right to Repair legislation that has a different remit around agricultural equipment rather than around consumer electronics.)<\/p>\n
