Here are some of the big highlights so far this year. </p><p>Five states have passed a total of six bills </p><p>"On May 19, Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson signed two Right to Repair bills, one covering most consumer electronics and appliances, and another covering powered wheelchairs. </p><p>"Then, in the last week, the Oregon and Nevada state legislatures passed their own wheelchair Right to Repair bills, while Texas and Connecticut lawmakers passed measures about fixing consumer electronics. All four bills have been sent to their respective state governors. </p><p>"This surge of progress makes 2025 the most productive one ever for our work on Right to Repair — and the year is not even halfway over. </p><p>A record 35 states have had active Right to Repair legislation </p><p>"So far this year, 35 states, up from 30 last year, have considered Right to Repair legislation. Many of those bills are still active, including a wheelchair bill in New York which has advanced; a new bipartisan bill introduced in Pennsylvania that covers consumer and business electronics; and many others. </p><p>"Earlier this year, we hit a milestone when Wisconsin introduced its first Right to Repair bill: Over the last eight years, legislators have put forward Right to Repair legislation in every U.S. state. </p><p>"Whether you live in Texas or Maine, you have stuff to fix, and we have a campaign to help you get the tools, technology or information you need for those repairs. </p><p>"The Right to Repair movement’s progress from coast to coast has been an important reminder that while some things divide Americans, we also agree on a lot. Repair means we get to keep our trusty devices going for longer, saving us money and cutting waste. It empowers all of us, including local repair businesses. </p><p>"It’s common sense, and increasingly, it’s common ground." </p><p><a href="https://pirg.org/articles/right-to-repair-movement-having-its-most-productive-year-ever-in-u-s-states/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pirg.org/articles/right-to-rep</span><span class="invisible">air-movement-having-its-most-productive-year-ever-in-u-s-states/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FixIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FixIt</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RepairCafes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RepairReuseRecycle</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairReuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RepairReuse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReUse</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReduceRepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReduceRepairReuseRecycle</span></a></p>
