Pennsylvania holds informational Right to Repair hearing, Committee Chair signals support
In preparation for Right to Repair legislation from Rep. Kyle Mullins, Pennsylvania’s House Commerce Committee held a hearing on the topic Monday.
Right to repair
We should be able to fix our stuff when it breaks.
We need easy access to the information, tools, resources and third party repair shops it takes to fix our cell phones, appliances, electronics and other equipment. That means working together to get the companies who make our stuff, to give us the right to repair our stuff. When they do, it will be better for the planet, better for our budgets, and things will work the way they are supposed to.
