This is the best summary I could come up with:
Because California is one of the world’s largest economies, this iFixit-cosponsored bill may make it easier for people all over the US to repair their devices.
The law, which joins similar efforts in New York, Colorado, and Minnesota, is tougher than some of its predecessors.
Manufacturers must make available appropriate tools, parts, software, and documentation for seven years after production for devices priced above $100.
California state senator Susan Eggman sponsored the bill and, in a statement published by California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG), said she was “thrilled” and that “This is a common sense bill that will help small repair shops, give choice to consumers, and protect the environment.”
California is home to a number of device makers, most notably Apple, which came out in support of the bill after initially trying to stall it.
Though the bill is fairly sweeping, there are carve-outs for game consoles and alarm systems.

The infant developed sepsis from the bacterium in the probiotic product—Evivo with MCT Oil made by Infinant Health—and subsequently died.
In a statement to Ars, the FDA said it quickly investigated the death after receiving an initial report on July 31.
“In September 2023, genomic sequencing data analysis performed by the FDA found that the probiotic bacteria present in Evivo with MCT Oil was a genetic match to the bacterium isolated from the infant’s blood,” the agency said.
The agency noted that the case isn’t the first of its kind; there have been previous reports of infections and sepsis in infants due to the use of probiotics containing bacteria and yeast.
“Given the lack of FDA-regulated pharmaceutical-grade products in the United States, conflicting data on safety and efficacy, and potential for harm in a highly vulnerable population, current evidence does not support the routine, universal administration of probiotics to preterm infants, particularly those with a birth weight of <1000 g.” Still, a 2021 report found that approximately 10 percent of very premature infants in the US receive some sort of probiotic preparation while receiving specialized care in hospitals.
The agency criticized the California-based company for clearly marketing its unapproved product—sold as a dietary supplement—for use in the prevention of a serious disease in highly vulnerable pre-term infants.

Not long after Crystal Springs started her new job at a large insurance company in Midtown Manhattan earlier this year, she realized that a much bigger chunk of her paycheck than she expected was going directly to child care for her 5-year old daughter.
Ms. Springs had dreamed that the job, which allowed her and her husband to make about $200,000 a year combined, would help provide a comfortable middle-class life for her family in Ozone Park, Queens.
In a notoriously stratified city experiencing its worst affordability crisis in decades, the skyrocketing cost of child care is one of the few issues that connects working families across geography, race and social class.
Kathy Hochul have each taken some action, the mayor’s decision to cut some funding for a free preschool program for 3-year-olds and his administration’s consistent delays in paying city-funded day care providers have exacerbated the issue.
The issues that have long plagued the industry — high staff turnover and a shortage of workers caused by stubbornly low wages, and supply lagging behind parent demand — have only become more acute in the wake of the pandemic.
One family that earns more than $400,000 began making preliminary plans to leave the city after finding a day care in their Williamsburg, Brooklyn, neighborhood that would cost over $4,700 a month for one of their children to attend full-time in fall 2024.

“It’s one step in the right direction,” says Bettina Aust – a Green party politician who was elected president of Kiel city council in June – over a glass of juice made from apples that had been saved from landing in a supermarket bin.
Over time, Germans have grown accustomed to sorting their trash, which has been a legal requirement since 2015 and is made easier by a wide range of bins in public spaces and apartment blocks.
The apathy towards recycling in the UK is strong enough that prime minister Rishi Sunak recently included sorting your rubbish into “seven different bins” in a list of environmental proposals he said he would stop from becoming policy.
The government passed a law to push clean-up costs on to manufacturers and introduced a “green dot” symbol on packaging to show that its maker was paying a fee to collect, sort and recover the waste.
Institutions and businesses need to improve but small behavioural changes can go a long way, says Moritz Dietsch, co-founder of the ResteRitter, a startup in Kiel that “rescues’’ fruit and vegetables that are about to be thrown out and makes marmalade and chutney from them.
In one sense, Germany’s obsession with sorting rubbish shows how millions of individual choices, taken daily in homes and workplaces across the country, can help protect the planet from harmful pollutants.
