    I haven’t followed this as closely as I should have, but I remember seeing a Louis Grossman Rossmann* vid (huge right to repair advocate) essentially throwing his hands up at the New York version of this, as it basically took all teeth out of the bill by providing loopholes for companies to bypass the requirements for “safety concerns.” Is it the same situation in the other states?

      Louis Grossman

      If that’s not a joke I’m not getting – that’s not his name or you mean another huge right to repair advocate
