This is a knee-jerk bill written by people who don't understand technology. It specifically calls out glued batteries, for example, and not any other permanent attachment of any other component. It claims that "operating system", "machine code", "assembly code", and "microcode" are all "synonyms".

I'm all for being able to repair one's own devices (my alarm clock is a 1980's HeathKit that I've saved from an early grave more than once with a soldering iron), but this is a poorly written bill that wouldn't help consumers.
