Have any of them made a statement on why they voted this way?
n.b. I'm not looking for simple "because of money/lobbying" speculation. I'm interested in the reasoning straight from the horse's mouth.

OK, so it passed the state Senate unanimously and died in the House.
The HN audience in particular might appreciate that some of the bill text revisions are dated 1969-12-31! :P

That's sickening. Every single one of these people should be primaried and removed from office.
When will EU/EEZ introduce right to repair? So much talk about freedom in EU but you can't even fix your own EU made car. All we get are stupid cookie prompts.
2027 for phones. Most things since 2024, including cars.
Still unable to get any repair manuals for cars, firmware locked down by PIN. For US VINs for the same car model you can purchase access to that easily. Meanwhile in EU you need to be an authorized service to get that.
Factory service manuals? Most of those are free. You don't need to be an authorised service to get hold of those.
The right to repair directive also authorises you to bypass any software restriction without violating hacking laws, as long as you're not hurting other people. The same is not true of the USA.

Just keep bringing it back infinitely.
Opposition gets tired, money doesn’t.

And this is why we need to get rid of Citizen's United and get unlimited dark money out of politics. Publicly funded elections, nobody gets more money than anyone else. Convince people with your ideas and proposed policies, not with $$$.
