Right to Repair in Florida

Florida Legislature’s Right to Repair bills, SB 1132 and HB235 (2025 | FL),  appear to have stalled in the Florida House. The Senate Bill handily passed the Senate while the House Bill has yet to receive a hearing. The Senate author is a commercial farmer who says the legislation will give farmers options for repair.

A conservative think tank said there was no need for the bill. “I therefore respectfully urge the committee to recognize the effectiveness of existing market solutions and reconsider whether this legislation addresses a genuine market failure or simply imposes unnecessary regulation on a functioning marketplace.”
