- 01
Right to parts, tools and documentation
Original equipment manufacturers of digital electronic products sold in Minnesota must make documentation, parts, and tools needed to diagnose, maintain, or repair the product available to owners and independent repair providers on fair and reasonable terms.
Minnesota Digital Fair Repair Act, Minn. Stat. §325E.72 - 02
Fair and reasonable terms standard
Manufacturers must provide parts, tools, and documentation at the lowest actual cost charged to authorized repair providers, without requiring a substantial obligation that the manufacturer does not impose on its own technicians.
Minnesota Digital Fair Repair Act, Minn. Stat. §325E.72 subd. 1(g) - 03
No requirement to disclose trade secrets
The law does not require manufacturers to divulge trade secrets, but they must still provide the documentation, parts, and tools that are needed for typical diagnosis and repair.
Minnesota Digital Fair Repair Act, Minn. Stat. §325E.72 subd. 4 - 04
Enforcement by the Minnesota Attorney General
Violations are treated as deceptive trade practices under Minnesota law. The Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority and can seek injunctive relief and civil penalties; there is no private right of action.
Minnesota Digital Fair Repair Act, Minn. Stat. §325E.72 subd. 5 - 05
Broad coverage of consumer digital electronics
Minnesota's law is considered one of the broadest U.S. right-to-repair laws because it covers most digital electronic equipment sold to consumers, including business-to-business products, with relatively few exclusions.
Minnesota Digital Fair Repair Act, Minn. Stat. §325E.72 subd. 1
