Misleading headline: it has not yet passed. It passed both the house and senate, but has not been signed by Gavin Newsom.
To be fair, that’s effectively passed, isn’t it? This isn’t the kind of bill where we’d expect a veto, so getting passed in the house and senate is practically all the work.
A right to repair bill made it just as far in NY and the Governor absolutely sabotaged it.
Surely that’s just a matter of time since he’s not at all beholden to the abusive industry fighting this, right? …Right??
