Oregon may soon become the latest state to pass right-to-repair legislation.
Last month, Google lent its support in an open letter, calling Senate Bill 1596 “a compelling model for other states to follow.
The bill, sponsored by a sextet of state senators and representatives, was inspired in part by California SB 244, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law in October.
Apple openly supported that bill — a rare endorsement from a tech giant that loves playing it close to the vest. Cupertino is, however, less enthusiastic about certain inclusions in the Oregon legislation that were absent from the California law.
John Perry, Apple's senior manager, of Secure System Design, says Apple agrees with the vast majority of Senate Bill 1596 and appreciates her willingness to engage in an open dialogue.
