With Wisconsin filing its first Right to Repair bill, all 50 states have now considered the legislation over the past eight years.

The Right to Repair coalition reached a milestone last week: All 50 US state legislatures now have considered Right to Repair bills over the last eight years, according to the nonprofit organization PIRG. 

Right to Repair legislation, which requires manufacturers to allow consumers and independent businesses to access parts, tools, and documentation needed to repair a range of electronic products, is currently active in 24 states. Lawmakers have filed or carried over some 50 bills filed in 2025. Seven different states have passed a total of nine versions of this legislation since 2020. 

“Now that Wisconsin filed their first Right to Repair legislation, we’ve completed the sweep of getting bills filed in all 50 states. Our legislative map no longer has any blanks,” says Gay Gordon-Byrne, executive director at Repair.org, in a release. “This proves that Right to Repair is needed everywhere—and we are well on our way towards making that happen.”

As support for the Right to Repair has grown, more manufacturers have evolved from opponents into proponents, supporting legislation. For instance, Google, Microsoft, and Apple have all supported legislation in different states. 

“This is more than a legislative landmark—it’s a tipping point. We’ve gone from a handful of passionate advocates to a nationwide call for repair autonomy,” said Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit. “People are fed up with disposable products and locked-down devices. Repair is the future, and this moment proves it.”

Lawmakers are hearing that and taking action.”
