Testimony on SB26-090 has begun, with a panel of "support" - basically the industry sponsors of the bill. Speakers have two minutes to comment. https://sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00327/Harmony/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrowserV2/20260427/33/18751

🎉 Right to repair is preserved! 🎉 A house committee in the Colorado legislature voted 7 to 4 to "postpone indefinitely" the SB26-090 bill that would have rolled back the hard-fought right, had it passed. A coalition of experts from around the state, the country, and the world testified that the vague definition of "critical infrastructure" left open the possibility that manufacturers could have classified virtually any tech product under that category, which would then have exempted it from R2R unless the attorney general weighed in. I'm so grateful to everyone who jumped in with almost no advance notice, and testified forcefully that the bill was bad and the arguments underpinning the bill's rationale were complete bullshit. We won a victory, folks. Against huge industry lobbying efforts, we won the day. Activism mattered and made a difference tonight! #RightToRepair #COpolitics #cybersecurity #ElectMoreHackers
