    I was optimistic there for a sec. Just smoke and mirrors.

    "This chapter does not apply to: (1)Information technology equipment…bla bla bla (2)a motor vehicle manufacturer… etc etc (3)a powersports vehicle or outboard motor (4)a medical device or product… bla bla (5)a manufacturer of farm equipment… derp (6)aerospace, aeroplane, or train equipment (7)heavy equipment (…) and on and on

    It would be better to state what this bill DOES apply to, but… yeah, Texas.

    Guessing that right extends to repairing all the damage done to the federal government recently, by chance?

    Anyone have a copy of the actual bill or the exceptions? A lot of right to repair stuff has come with some shitty asterisks that exempt certain things. Also, if signed, when is it supposed to take effect?
