Subject: Oregon Legislature Passes Right-to-Repair Law
The Oregon House passed the nation’s strongest “right-to-repair” bill Monday on a vote of 42 to 13.
The bill makes it easier for consumers and independent repair shops to fix smartphones, computers and other products containing electronics sold in Oregon.
The Oregon Senate passed the bill on Feb. 20. It now goes to Gov. Tina Kotek for her signature.

Our home in Philomath, Oregon is located within the traditional homelands of the Mary's River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya. Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855 (Kalapuya etc. Treaty), Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to reservations in Western Oregon. Today, living descendants of these people are a part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians.
