Right-to-Repair Laws by Jurisdiction: US States, EU and Canada (2026 Tracker)

Right-to-repair legislation decides whether you can get the parts, tools and documentation to fix the hardware you own — from a phone or laptop to a Bitcoin mining ASIC. This tracker gathers the status of repair laws across twelve jurisdictions so you can see, at a glance, what has been enacted and what is still phasing in. It covers seven US state laws (New York, Minnesota, California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Massachusetts), the European Union’s Right to Repair Directive and its Ecodesign Regulation, and three Canadian measures (the federal Copyright Act amendments on repair and interoperability, plus Quebec’s reform against planned obsolescence). For each one you get the bill name and citation, current status, the effective or signed date, the scope of goods covered, a plain-language summary and a direct link to the official government source. Please treat this as an informational reference, not legal advice: repair laws change, take effect on staggered dates and depend on implementing rules, so always confirm the current text on the official source and consult a qualified professional before relying on any provision. Every row was last verified 2026-06-27.

Quick answer

This tracker summarises the status of right-to-repair legislation across 12 jurisdictions that matter to anyone who owns electronics or hardware — including Bitcoin mining ASICs — and wants the parts, tools and documentation to repair them. It covers enacted US state laws (New York, Minnesota, California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Massachusetts), the European Union's Right to Repair Directive and Ecodesign Regulation, and Canadian measures (the federal Copyright Act amendments and Quebec's anti-planned-obsolescence reform). Each row links to the official government or legislature source so you can read the text yourself.

Informational reference only — not legal advice. Repair laws change quickly, take effect on staggered dates, and depend on implementing rules and regulations. Always confirm the current text on the official source linked in each row, and consult a qualified professional before relying on any provision. Every row was last verified 2026-06-27.

Heads-up: this is an informational reference, not legal advice, and the values below change. Verify the current law on the official source linked in each row before acting. Last verified 2026-06-27.
