"For too long, large corporations have hindered the progress of small business owners and everyday Americans by preventing them from the right to repair their own equipment," said Congressman Joe Morelle. "It's long past time to level the playing field, which is why I'm so proud to introduce the Fair Repair Act and put the power back in the hands of consumers. This common-sense legislation will help make technology repairs more accessible and affordable for items from cell phones to laptops to farm equipment, finally giving individuals the autonomy they deserve."
Currently, many electronics manufacturers require that repairs, or parts to complete a repair, be made by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) itself or through one of their authorized vendors, making the process costly and burdensome for consumers. COVID-19 further magnified the need for consumers and small businesses to be self-reliant and have the ability to repair their own equipment when large retailers have to shutter.
The Fair Repair Act will require OEMs to make diagnostic and repair information, parts, and tools available to third-party repairers and owners in a timely manner and on fair and reasonable terms, helping consumers and repair shops to avoid unnecessary and costly delays while also reducing waste. This bill allows for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to penalize those who violate these provisions through civil penalties including payment of damages, reformation of contracts, and refund of money or property. It also empowers the FTC to promulgate any rules or regulations necessary to carry out these enforcement duties. The Fair Repair Act authorizes state attorneys general to enforce the bill's provisions as well.
Maureen Mahoney, Senior Policy Analyst, Consumer Reports, said: "If you own it, you should be able to fix it. We're pleased that Congressman Morelle is taking the lead on legislation to ensure that consumers can fix their own electronic products, or have them repaired by the servicer of their choice. We support this important bill which will guarantee consumers the right to repair, which will help increase competition, reduce waste, and lower prices for repair."
Kit Walsh, Senior Staff Attorney and Assistant Director, Electronic Frontier Foundation, said: "This important bill will help Americans keep our technology in good repair and will help small repair businesses compete on fair terms with device manufacturers. Ultimately that means higher-quality device repair for lower prices, less environmental waste, and a safer Internet of Things. The bill is also significant because it recognizes that device owners have rights, that you are allowed to understand and fix your devices even if the manufacturer would rather they were the only one."
Kerry Sheehan, U.S. Policy Lead at iFixit, said: "Big tech companies shouldn't be able to dictate how we use the things we own or keep us from fixing our stuff. We applaud Representative Joe Morelle for taking the fight for Right to Repair to Congress and for standing up for consumers, farmers, and independent repair shops nationwide."
David Fisher, New York Farm Bureau President, said: "Equipment is a major investment on any farm, but technology restrictions can prevent farmers from being able to properly repair machinery themselves or have an independent contractor do the work. It also costs time and money to wait for an approved service provider to arrive and plug in a computer to begin a maintenance procedure in the field. Simply put, if a farmer buys equipment, they should have the right to repair it. New York Farm Bureau thanks Rep. Morelle for his support on this legislation."
Gay Gordon-Byrne, Executive Director of Repair.org, said: "Every year I've worked on Right to Repair, it's gotten bigger, as more and more people want to see independent repair protected. From just a few states, to 27 states so far this year. We've seen progress in the E.U. and Australia, and now Congress is taking it up. Rep. Joe Morelle has been a champion for much of that journey, sponsoring legislation while in the Statehouse in Albany starting in 2015. Everywhere you go, people just want to be able to choose for themselves how to fix their stuff. You'd think manufacturers would wise up."
DNA repair is a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecules that encodes its genome.[1] In human cells, both normal metabolic activities and environmental factors such as radiation can cause DNA damage, resulting in tens of thousands of individual molecular lesions per cell per day.[2] Many of these lesions cause structural damage to the DNA molecule and can alter or eliminate the cell's ability to transcribe the gene that the affected DNA encodes. Other lesions induce potentially harmful mutations in the cell's genome, which affect the survival of its daughter cells after it undergoes mitosis. As a consequence, the DNA repair process is constantly active as it responds to damage in the DNA structure. When normal repair processes fail, and when cellular apoptosis does not occur, irreparable DNA damage may occur, including double-strand breaks and DNA crosslinkages (interstrand crosslinks or ICLs).[3][4] This can eventually lead to malignant tumors, or cancer as per the two-hit hypothesis.
