Colorado Enacts Comprehensive Right-to-Repair Law

New legislation mandates fair access to repair tools and bans restrictive parts pairing for consumer electronics.

Governor Jared Polis signed the bill expanding repair rights to include consumer electronics, effective January 2026.
The law prohibits manufacturers from using parts pairing technology that restricts repairs to authorized providers.
Manufacturers must provide necessary repair tools and software at no charge or minimal cost.
Exclusions to the law include game consoles, medical devices, ATVs, and motor vehicles.
Advocacy groups praise Colorado as a national leader in right-to-repair legislation.
