U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) introduced the Warrior Right to Repair Act of 2025, legislation that would require contractors to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) with access to technical data and materials the military needs to repair and maintain its own equipment.

I'm on board regardless.

Any legal precedent for this has to be a win right?

It might have some side effects of affecting more than just the military, but codified right to repair into law is never going to be a bad thing IMO.
