The Fair Repair Act says that companies who make electronic gadgets must let others fix them by sharing instructions and parts, except for cars and medical devices. The rules help ensure people have fair and safe access to fix their stuff but keep some secrets safe.

H.R. 8544 is a new rule that says companies have to share information and tools so anyone can fix their gadgets, like phones or computers, without making it too hard or expensive. It doesn’t count for things like cars or medical gadgets and ensures secrets are safe unless needed to help fix stuff.
