Wheelchair Right to Repair Act

# Wheelchair Right to Repair Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Wheelchair Right to Repair Act would require wheelchair manufacturers to provide repair parts, documentation, and repair tools to wheelchair users and independent repair shops. This would allow people who use wheelchairs to fix their own devices or take them to repair shops of their choice, rather than being forced to use only the manufacturer's authorized repair services. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects wheelchair users, independent repair technicians, and wheelchair manufacturers.

It gives wheelchair users more control over maintenance and repair of their devices—equipment many people depend on daily for mobility and independence. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee (HR 5039, 119th Congress), meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL).
