Dear Vermonters,
It's time to speak out for your right to repair
Right to Repair legislation in back in Vermont. Two bills are underway and need your support. H.160 covers medical equipment and H.161 covers most everything else.
Five states already have similar laws on the books. Vermonters should have the same access to repair services without having to go out of state. Your medical costs are inflated because repair has become monopolized, just like repair of your cell phones, TVs, and home appliances.
Make sure to tell your legislators you want your right to repair.

What does Right to Repair do?
Right 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.
That sounds great! Who would be against that?
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.
Is Right to Repair a new concept?
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.
How can I get involved?
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. Tell them you support the Fair Repair Act. Tell them that you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and accessible. Stand up for your right to repair in Vermont!
