Several new laws are now in effect, bringing changes to consumers, schools, and businesses. One of these laws, known as right-to-repair, gives consumers more options for fixing broken devices like phones and tablets. Manufacturers are required to provide access to parts, tools, and repair information to consumers and independent repair shops.
This law does not apply to all products, such as cars, home appliances, and gaming consoles. Another new law provides protections for those purchasing solar products, requiring solar companies to register with the state and follow certain guidelines.
Further details about these new laws and their impact are available, including information on what the changes mean for individuals and businesses.
