    Good law, I hope it passes. Other states or the federal government need to do the same thing.

    Quote from the article, "Car dealers and manufacturers, including Honda, have vigorously opposed the right-to-repair bill on the federal level and in other states, such as New Jersey and Arizona. They say the push for the bill isn't about consumers but about auto parts."

    Exactly what I would expect from dealers and manufacturers. This would interfere with their ability to rip off the customers.

    the spending on advertising has been hot and heavy for both sides of this issue. propaganda rules the day. should be interesting to see how the legislature goes on this one and how much pac money is spent.:cool:
