Intermediate2h 22m # Right to Repair Compliance Course (US State Laws) US right-to-repair compliance for electronics makers: New York, California, Minnesota, Colorado and Oregon laws, parts pairing, fair pricing and documentation. A laptop manufacturer keeps selling replacement batteries only through its authorized service network, unaware that California's Right to Repair Act now requires those same parts be sold to independent shops and consumers on fair and reasonable terms — and faces daily civil penalties the moment a complaint reaches the state's Bureau of Household Goods and Services. A smart-home device maker ships a new sensor line using serialized component pairing to lock replacement parts to a specific unit, discovering only after launch that Oregon and Colorado now ban exactly that practice outright. A national electronics brand assumes one nationwide repair policy covers every state, missing that New York's law, California's price-tiered retention windows, and Texas's prospective-only effective date each impose genuinely different obligations on the same product line. None of this is exotic — it's the ordinary result of treating right-to-repair as a public-relations question instead of the real, state-by-state compliance program it actually requires. This course teaches US state right-to-repair compliance for electronics manufacturers from first principles to complete practical compliance. It starts with why there's no federal right-to-repair law for electronics, how the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and FTC Act still reach unfair repair restrictions anyway, and the scope and threshold framework — covered products, exclusions, wholesale-price tiers, and effective-date models — that determines whether any given product is covered at all. You'll then work through nine enacted state laws in genuine depth, not headline summary: New York's first-mover Digital Fair Repair Act, California's price-tiered Right to Repair Act, Minnesota's broad retroactive-lookback law, Colorado's and Oregon's parts-pairing bans, and the newer wave from Washington, Connecticut, Texas, and Kansas. The course then turns to the cross-cutting requirements every compliant program has to get right regardless of state: parts pairing as the emerging design-level battleground, what "fair and reasonable terms" actually means in enforcement practice, documentation and technical-manual obligations, parts and tools pricing and availability, the security and trade-secret carve-outs every state preserves, and the separate federal DMCA Section 1201 layer that can still block a repair even where state law requires access. A dedicated module covers real enforcement precedent, including the FTC's landmark 2026 settlement with Deere & Company, before a full, realistic walkthrough of one national electronics manufacturer building its compliance program from scratch, the common mistakes that trip up even careful teams, and your own concrete ninety-day compliance action plan. Built on Krono's regulatory database and current 2026 research, covering New York's Digital Fair Repair Act, California's SB 244, Minnesota's Digital Fair Repair Act, Colorado's HB24-1121, Oregon's SB 1596, Washington's HB 1483, Connecticut's SB 1217, Texas's HB 2963, and Kansas's HB 2700, as they stood at the time of this course's production.
