This year, the people of New Jersey have two chances to guarantee their right to repair their equipment—like tractors, appliances, digital equipment, and cell phones.
It’s yours. You own it. You shouldn’t have to beg the manufacturer for permission to fix it.
New Jersey’s Digital Fair Repair Act, A1538, would require manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair businesses with access to service information, diagnostic tools, and affordable replacement parts. So you can fix the stuff you own quickly—and get on with your life.
Farmers don’t like waiting around for dealer repair people, either—when farmers can fix broken equipment themselves, they do. A3612 would make sure that farmers and independent repair shops can complete repairs on Montana farm equipment.
It’s time to fight for your right to repair and defend local repair jobs, the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that keep getting squeezed out.
Call or write your legislators now, using the easy tools below. Tell them why repair matters to you—and why it should be affordable, accessible, and not locked away behind manufacturer repair monopolies.
