“despite major progress on passing new legislative proposals, I’ve yet to see a single state enforce any aspect of a new right to repair law”
Eight states have right-to-repair laws. Some are five years old. Zero enforcement actions. Manufacturers figured out the cheap play years ago: stop spending on lobbying against the bill, let it pass, then ignore it. A law nobody enforces is worth exactly what it costs to violate, which is nothing. The press release cycle happens at signing, and everyone goes home.
