Right to Repair? Army secretary pushes for access to tools, parts

() The Right to Repair is gaining a ton of momentum across the country.

Earlier this month, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll committed to including right-to-repair provisions in all existing and future contracts with manufacturers. Right to Repair is a legal right for owners of devices and equipment to freely modify and repair products such as automobiles, electronics, and farm equipment.

Presently, the Army has committed to securing right-to-repair provisions in contracts. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is advocating for other military branches to adopt the requirement, addressing the long-standing repairability problems across the armed forces.

“The Army’s commitment to Right to Repair shows other industries that they can do the same,” she says.

Last month in Washington, the Right to Repair became law after advocates had spent years trying to get it passed. In addition, a wheelchair bill in New York has also advanced, while a new bill has been introduced in Pennsylvania that covers consumer and business electronics.

In 2025, 35 states up from 30 last year have considered Right to Repair legislation.
