Right to Repair, Grinch Bots, and Protecting Vaccine Access
This week, the House advanced consumer protection and public health measures to the Senate for consideration. Representative Kyle Mullins’ Right to Repair Electronics bill would give consumers and independent repair shops access to the parts, tools, and information needed to fix electronic devices like phones, laptops, and appliances. By breaking manufacturer repair monopolies, this legislation will save families money, reduce electronic waste, and strengthen local small businesses.
We also passed Representative Steve Malagari’s bill to prohibit “Grinch Bots” — software that allows scalpers to buy up in-demand products and tickets online and resell them at inflated prices. This commonsense legislation will help ensure a fair marketplace and protect consumers from predatory online practices.
Finally, the House approved legislation to safeguard Pennsylvanians’ access to vaccines amid recent federal upheaval around immunizations guidelines. Led by Representatives Arvind Venkat, Tarik Khan, and Bridget Kosierowski – all trained health providers themselves -- the Protecting Vaccine Access in Pennsylvania Act requires insurers to cover vaccines recommended by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and major medical societies.
