The bill originally was going to make available to customers and independent service centers the same parts and manuals that manufacturer repair centers have. The governor edited the bill slightly in a way that makes it almost useless now. It was edited to say that manufacturers don't have to provide parts if they think that there's a safety issue. They can just make a "full assembly" available rather than individual parts. This means that if you have a $800 device, and a $10 part can fix it, but the manufacturer decides that it's a "safety issue" to sell anything less than a $700 "motherboard assembly" then this negates the entire purpose of right to repair. He says "this bill allows for malicious compliance in a way that makes it functionally useless".
