Colorado's "super comment" comes as the Federal Trade Commission is asking for feedback on what they can do to support repair on a state level.
The Colorado Senate joined the Colorado House in passing a joint resolution calling for a national Right to Repair score system for our tech.
The resolution will be sent to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has opened up a public comment period until February 2 asking for feedback on how they can help states improve and foster repair.
Repair scores for tech such as laptops, phones, and appliances provide consumers with a 1 through 10 score that measures availability of spare parts, ease of disassembly, and longevity of support.
It's harder than it should be to fix our stuff. Manufacturers of every electronic product from toasters to tractors create barriers that stymie repair from owners or independent repair businesses. It's fueling a rise in electronic waste, the loss of independent repair businesses -- and ultimately more cost and more waste for consumers.
