Right to Repair for Virginia
You should be able to fix your phone, laptop and other devices if they break. But too many manufacturers restrict access to the information and parts we need for repairs. We’re working to change that.
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.

Repair scores provide a simple, reliable way to know what we are paying for before we buy expensive electronics.Julie von Haefen, North Carolina Representative
North Carolina Representative Julie von Haefen
I support right to repair scores because they empower consumers with crucial information on the repairability of products before purchase, enhancing market transparency and reducing electronic waste. As the FTC's 'Nixing the Fix' report highlights, the lack of accessible repair information perpetuates a market imbalance, disadvantaging consumers. Implementing a national voluntary repair score, akin to EnergyGuide labels, will guide consumers towards more sustainable and economical choices, while also promoting local business opportunities and sustainable product designs.Janice Marchman, Colorado Senator
