Right to Repair is now law in five states. Floridians should have the same options to fix their stuff as elsewhere by passing Right to Repair legislation in 2025. Four bills have been filed so far this session: HB235 and S1132 would protect the Right to Repair mobile devices.
S0412 and its House companion HB311 would protect the Right to Repair powered wheelchairs. Wheelchair users report having to wait weeks or months for repairs—unacceptable for these necessary mobility devices. And infuriatingly, although states including Colorado and California have passed wheelchair reforms, the major wheelchair manufacturers have refused to extend access to parts, tools, and documentation outside of those states.

Join the AssociationRight to Repair is simple. It requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair businesses with fair access to service information and affordable replacement parts. So you can fix the stuff you own quickly—and get back on with your life.
Well, manufacturers like John Deere and Apple don’t like the idea. When your tractor breaks or your cell phone stops working, they want to be the only people who can fix it. And they get to set whatever prices they want for parts and service.
Nope! We already have right to repair for cars—that’s why you can take your Ford into a local mechanic. They have all the same software diagnostics and service manuals that the dealerships have. This is the result of decades of auto Right to Repair legislation—laws that have been a resounding success.
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. Write or call your legislator.
