That’s a bad assumption. The “DIGITAL RIGHT TO REPAIR COALITION” and “ AGRIBUSINESS ASSOCIATION (NYS)“ were on that list. I’d find it hard to believe they were involved with neutering this bill.

I would still agree with you though, most of the orgs on that list were likely at the table attempting to ruin the bill.

Spectacular. Doing government as if it was a Sotheby’s auction. The law goes to the highest bidder.

Can confirm DIGITAL RIGHT TO REPAIR COALITION is Repair.org and was the opposition to TechNet and all the OEMs lobbying against this bill.

That's a good confirmation because misleadingly named organisations (and bills) have been a norm in politics for a long time.
