NY Assembly Panel Clears Right-to-Repair, Hate Speech Bills

A New York state digital right-to-repair bill can be scheduled for Assembly floor vote after getting a green light Tuesday from the Codes Committee at a livestreamed hearing. The panel’s Democrats voted yes, while Republicans voted no, to report A-7006 to the Rules Committee. Also, the committee cleared A-7865 to require social platforms to provide reporting mechanisms for hateful conduct.
