Attempt to repeal Colorado's right-to-repair law fails

A bill in Colorado (SB26-090) attempting to weaken the state's 2024 right-to-repair law by creating exceptions for 'critical infrastructure' failed in a House committee vote. The law, which ensures access to repair tools and documentation for digital electronics, was supported by repair advocates who opposed the proposed carve-out. The bill, backed by companies like Cisco and IBM, passed the Senate but was defeated in a 7-to-4 vote in the House committee.
