Because California is one of the world’s largest economies, this iFixit-cosponsored bill may make it easier for people all over the US to repair their devices.

The law, which joins similar efforts in New York, Colorado, and Minnesota, is tougher than some of its predecessors.

Manufacturers must make available appropriate tools, parts, software, and documentation for seven years after production for devices priced above $100.

California state senator Susan Eggman sponsored the bill and, in a statement published by California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG), said she was “thrilled” and that “This is a common sense bill that will help small repair shops, give choice to consumers, and protect the environment.”

California is home to a number of device makers, most notably Apple, which came out in support of the bill after initially trying to stall it.

Though the bill is fairly sweeping, there are carve-outs for game consoles and alarm systems.
