Wyoming's HB 15, "Right to Repair Digital Electronic Equipment," requires original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to provide independent repair providers and equipment owners with documentation, parts, embedded software, and tools for diagnosing, maintaining, or repairing digital electronics manufactured after July 1, 2026. The bill mandates that these resources be made available on "fair and reasonable terms," prohibiting practices like parts pairing that block repairs and ensuring no excessive pricing or unnecessary restrictions. It specifically covers digital electronics sold in Wyoming for the first time after the 2026 effective date, excluding equipment sold before that date. The law defines key terms like "independent repair provider" and sets requirements for how OEMs must share resources without impeding repairs. This bill does not apply to equipment already in use or sold prior to the 2026 deadline.
