Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025

# Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Does:** The Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025 would give military veterans and service members the legal right to repair their own medical devices and equipment without restrictions from manufacturers. Currently, many medical device companies use patents, software locks, and licensing agreements to prevent independent repairs, requiring users to rely on authorized service centers instead. This bill would override those restrictions for veterans, allowing them to fix or modify prosthetics, hearing aids, wheelchairs, and other devices themselves or take them to independent repair shops. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects military veterans and active-duty service members who use medical devices, as well as the manufacturers of those devices. It could also benefit independent repair technicians and veterans' advocacy groups.

The restrictions it targets typically impact veterans with service-connected disabilities who depend on devices for mobility, hearing, communication, and other essential functions. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 5155 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but not yet debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez (D-Washington). No further action has been taken at this time.
